WILLIAM WATKIN5, Entomologist, 



VILLA SPHINX, EASTBOURNE. 



LARGEST STOCK of EXOTIC LEPIDOPTERA in the KINGDOM. 

 Fresh Collections always arriving from the most isolated places. I am 

 particularly rich in species from New Guinea and South America. 



My system of ''APPROVAL BASKET" is a great success. It contains 

 lovely specimens at lowest prices. Please ask to see it ; it will cost you nothing 

 unless you purchase. Prices are lower than those of auction, and the specimens 

 faultless in condition. 



Collections purchased, or named and arranged. 



N.B. — I have the finest Reference Collections, and most experienced Staff of 

 Assistants in England.
