TWO OTHER CHARMING NATURE BOOKS 



The Butterfly Book 



By W.J. Holland, Ph.D., D.D., LL.D. 



This is " A Popular Guide to a Knowledge of the Butterflies of 

 North America," telling of their life and habits, and how they may be 

 identified, collected and studied. Dr. Holland is Chancellor of the 

 Western University of Pennsylvania, Director of the Carnegie Museum 

 of Pittsburg, Fellow of the Zoological and Entomological Societies 

 of London, Member of the Entomological Society of France, 

 etc., etc. ; he is, moreover, perhaps the first authority in America 

 on this subject, and he has certainly the largest and most perfect collec- 

 tion in existence of the butterflies of North America. 



The superb colored plates, photographed directly from the author's 

 specimens, represent the highest mark yet made in color photography, 

 and with the many text illustrations figure practically every species in 

 the country ; and the book is the first successful attempt to popularize 

 this fascinating pursuit.

Flashlights on Nature By Grant Allen 



A book describing the life histories of our most familiar insects and 

 plants, and calling attention in the author's charming style to many 

 neglected miracles in our everyday world. The illustrations include 

 more than 100 drawings by Frederick Enock, who has made his 

 sketches directly from life under the microscope ; he has often 

 watched, as Mr. Allen tells us, for twelve hours at a time to intercept 

 a rare chrysalis at its moment of bursting, or for the favorable moment 

 for drawing some unusual characteristic.

 Type, //-point. Price, $1. 50.
