Silks of India, in the Indian Section of the South Kensington 
Museum, with a Catalogue of the Collection, and numerous Illustra- 
tions (published by the Science and Art Department of the Com-

Includes classification, with a full list of silk-moths by F. Moore ; and 
an account of the history and preparation of silk, with special reference 
to Bomhyx mori^ Antliercua mylitta (Tusser), Attacus ricini (Eria), 
Anthercsa qssama (Moonga), apd Attacus atlas. These, and many other 
allied species, are figured with their transformations, silk, scales, food- 
plants, maps of the districts in which they occur, and drawings of the 
apparatus used in preparing the silk. It will thus be seen that the 
present work is not only a technological handbook, but of considerable 
scientific value also.
