By Davii. Shaiip, U.A., M.B., F.R.S. 

 SATUnDAV BEriEl!\—"Y>i. Sharp's treatment is altogether worthy of the 

 series and of his own higli scientific reputation. Bnt in a work of this sort it ij 

 not only necessary that information should be accurate, but also that it shall be 

 presented to the eye, so I'ar as illustrations and printing are concerned, in such a 

 way as to render its matter as easily intelligible as possible, and readily usable 

 for purposes of rete -cnec. Under both these heads we have nothing but commenda- 

 tion for Mr. Sharp's treatise. The illustrations are indeed beautiful, and the use 

 of the heavy type for the headings of the various sections and leading paragrapln 

 materially helps the reader in the progress of his study. Certainly this is a book 

 that should be in every entomologist's library."
