LEPIDOPTERA.

tions, drawn from the life, by Harriet and Helena Scott ; 
with descriptions, general and systematic. Parts i. & ii. 
Folio. London : Van Voorst, 1864. 
The title of this work sufficiently indicates its scope, and it is 
not too much to say that all parties concerned in its production 
deserve the very highest credit for the manner in which they 
have fulfilled their respective portions of the task. The drawings 
of the different Insects, with their larvae, pupae, and food-plants, 
are very well executed, the only unsatisfactory portions of the 
plates being the figures of details of structure, which are here 
and there somewhat defective. As the book is entirely produced 
in Sydney, it is interesting as an example of the highly credit- 
able manner in which such work can now he executed in that 
distant colony. Several new species are described and figured 
in the parts already published.
