KIRBY'S ENTOMOLOGY. 



ELEMENTARY TEXT-BOOK OF ENTOMOLOGY. By W. F. Kirbv (British Museum). 

 Illustrated with 650 Woodcuts. Square 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt top, 15s. 

 " It is, in fact, a succinct Encyclopedia of the subject. Plain and perspicuous in 

 language, and profusely illustrated, the insect must be a rare one indeed whose genus— 

 and perhaps even whose species— the reader fails to determine without difficulty. . . . 

 The woodcuts are so admirable as almost to cheat the eye familiar with the objects pre- 

 sented into the belief that it is gazing upon the colours which it knows so well. . . , 

 Advanced entomologists will obtain Mr. Kirby'sfine volume as a handy book of reference; 

 the student will buy it as an excellent introduction to the science, and as an absolutely 

 trustivorthy text-book." —Knowledge.

 "Teachers and Students alike have been anxiously waiting for its appearance. . . . We 

 would lay especial weight on the illustrations of this work for two reasons : firstly, because 

 correct figures are of enormous assistance to the student. . . . and secondly, it contains as rich 

 a supply of well-drawn, well-engraved, and well selected figures as ever man could desire. . . . 

 are admirably printed. . . . The whole enterprise reflects the greatest credit."— Zoologist. 



" It is not often a work so entirely fulfils its object. ... It is alike creditable to author, 

 translators, and publishers, who seems to have vied with each other in rendering it not only 

 valuable but attractive.— Knowledge.
