"It is pleasant to welcome this 'old friend in a new dress.' The practical 

 little book of the late Mr. Greene, who, thirty years and more ago, was adding to 

 ouv knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Ireland, will still be useful to the young 

 entomologists of to-day But the work is before all an insect hunter's com- 

 panion, and the joys of the entomological chase, usually innocent, despite the 

 rapacity of many collectors, are still as fresh as they were thirty years ago. 

 Mr. Greene's directions for the capture of moths, caterpillars, and pupae are as 

 valuable as ever, and his anecdotes will not grow stale." — The Irish Naturalist. 



" This terse and informative little manual." — Birmingham Post.

"This little volume makes an intensely interesting companion for the insect

" Will be welcomed by all beginners in entomological studies who desire prac- 

 tical information as to the various modes of capturing, setting, and preserving 

 insects." — The Tribune. 



" It is excellent as a guide in collecting and preserving butterflies, moths, 

 beetles, bees, flies, and other insects." — Scotsman.
