 'Will take its place as a book of the highest authority on this 

 subject. The form, habits, and localities of every British hitterfty 

 are oarefnlly described (we noticed some time ago the author' a 

 work on *' British Moths"), and a preface gives some usefal hints 

 to the yonng collector. The book has a charm, besides its soien- 

 tifio valQC, in the very pleasant style ia which it is written ; and ita 

 moderate price, for the sake of whieh the luxury of co'our — for 

 with careful descriptions it is a /uxur^— has been aaeriflced, puts 

 it within easy reach. Weshall leave our readers to make acqua'ut- 

 anoe with the volume for themselves, giving them by the way a hint 

 about the " Pnrple Emperor," a prize which every collector eon- 

 aiders hia gpolium QpHmwa. Oar jionng frienda need not risk their 

 necks by climbing up to the top of the tallest oska in England, 

 liet them nail a dead weaael to the trunk.' — Spectator,
