NEW ZEALAND NEUROPTERA, 



By G. VERNON HUDSON, F.E.S., 



Author of ' An Elementary Manual of New Zealand Entomology,' and 



' New Zealand Moths and Butterflies.' 



A Popular Introduction to the Life-Histories and Habits of May-flies, 



Dragon-flies, Caddis-flies, and Allied Insects inhabiting New 



Zealand, including Notes on their relation to Angling. 



" This nicely got- up volume gives a popular account of many of the neuropterous 



insects occurring in the New Zealand rivers, streams, and lakes The Ephemeridaa, 



or May-flies, are especially interesting insects to the entomologist, angler, and general 

 observer of nature The habits and descriptions of the different species are con- 

 cisely, but instructively, dealt with, and the book is embellished with eleven finely coloured 

 plates, chromo-lithographed from the author's own drawings." — The Field.
