during the week I was there, and I only 
saw a solitary specimen, which ventured 
to open its wings during a transient 
gleam of sunshine. Now, whenever I 
look at that butterfly in my cabinet, the 
recollection of the moment when it 
flashed its glory before me always comes 
like a new pleasure. 
I am, Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
J. W. Douglas.

T HE ENTOMOLOGIST’S COM- 
PANION. By H. T. Stainton. 
“ For those interested in the study of 
the smaller moths, this book will be found 
of great use.’’ — Athenaum. 
London: Van Voorst, 1, Paternoster 
Row. 
This work forms one 8vo volume, 
uniform with the series of the * Insecta 
Britannica,’ and contains descriptions 
of all the British species of Tortricina, 
with observations on their habits and 
localities. 
“ Mr. Wilkinson has described, with 
great accuracy, from original specimens, 
three hundred species of these insects. 
As this has been done with the skill 
of a master, the work must take its 
place beside the great descriptive works 
devoted to other families of insects.” —
