'Speaking of « homology, we should place Mr. Morris' "History of British Moths" at the head. 
It gives a coloured figure of every known British moth, together with dates of appearance, 
localities de cription. and Food of cal irpillar. It forms a hand ome work for a library, and will, 
we ihonld e, lead many to comm iscinating study of entomology.' — Tin Record. 
'We ancemenl of the publication of a "Natural History of 
I i Moths" will awaken a Btrong desire in many of our readers to bee me possessed of bo 
desirable a treatise. There are probably some thousands, especially among the yonngei 
<■!' our population, who pay a Little attention to entomology, and of these by Tar 
Dumber devote their energies to the study of the butterflies and moths, the two great groups of 
the order Lepidoptera of entomoloi ists. To thi e, if we may judge from the 
ections oi our own earrj feelings, no presenl could be more welcome than a good "Natural 
Hisl >ry "f British Moths." 'The ulustrationa are exceedingly numerous, occupying no fewer 
than 182 plates, and including a figure of everj cases oJ the principal 
varieties. Thefigi ;ly well executed and life-like; they are all co 
and will doubtless afford great assistance to* many a collector in naming his captures.' -Tht
