ATTRACTIVE PICTURES FOR BRIGHTENING SCHOOLS. 



At the present time there is a general movement in the direction of 

 making schoolrooms brighter by means of coloured pictures ; the pictures 

 to be attractive and educative rather than merely instructional. The 

 difficulty has always been to get good ones at any reasonable cost. We 

 have therefore ventured to prepare a series of landscape subjects, all in 

 colour, and some in glowing colours. The actual picture measures about 

 32 x 20 inches, and is printed on paper 35 x 22^ inches. They are 

 intended to be seen from a distance.

 ' New Zealand Moths and Butterflies.' 



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

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 Ephemeridffi, 

 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. 



"In this admirable little volume the author has entered pretty fully into details 

 connected with the habits and life-histories of the more important and conspicuous 



neuropterous insects Tbp plates, reproducing the author's own drawings, are 



exceedingly good." — The Entomologist.
