zweite Abtheilmig, Lepidoptera. Heft II. Vienna, 1865 :

The second part of MM. Felder^s ^ Lepidoptera of the Voyage 
of the Novara ^ includes descriptions of the species of Pierides, 
LycesnideSj ErycinideSf Libytheides and Danaides, many of them 
previously indicated by diagnoses published in * Wiener entom. 
Monatschrift.^ Many new species and some new generic forms 
are also described, and the illustrations, as in the former part, 
are very good. Although this part bears the date of 1865, it 
was not procurable in 1866 ; and the Recorder has been informed 
that an application in February of the present year was unsuc- 
cessful. The date is of importance with regard to the question 
of priority between this work and some of Mr. Butler’s papers, 
Hewitson, W. C. Exotic Butterflies, being illustrations of new 
species. 4to. London : Van Voorst. Parts 57-60 (Janu- 
ary to October 1866) . 
These parts complete the third volume of the work, and con- 
tain the titlepage, index, &c.

38-47. 8vo. London, 1864-1866. 
In this work the author gives figures, generally pretty recog- 
nizable, of each species of British Moths ; but the letterpress is 
of a very bald description, consisting only of notices of the 
1866. [voL. III.] 2 F
