L. REEVE AND CO.^S NEW SERIES OF NATURAL 

 HISTORY FOR BEGINNERS. 



A good introductory series of books on Natural Histoiy lor tHe ' use of 

 students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present' in- lise have 

 been too much compiled from antiquated" sources r^hilc the "tignTes,- ^copied 

 in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accttralte, the 

 colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 

 sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. 



The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 

 most advanced point ; and the figures, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, by 

 the artist most highly renowned in each department for his technical knowledge 

 of the subjects, wall in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and coloured 

 separately by hand. 



Each work will treat of a department of Natural History sufficiently limited 

 in extent to admit of a satisfactory degree of completeness. 



The following are now ready:—

Structure, Habits, and Transformations of Insects. By E. F. Staveley.
