Five Volumes, super-royal 8vo., £5 Sa. 
This work forms an appropriate supplement to Morris, Yarrell, or any other work on 
British Birds, and with any of them forms a comprehensive account of the Ornithology 
of Europe. In addition to the personal ability of the Author for his task, he has had 
the assistance of many eminent Continental naturalists, among whom are Professors 
Blasius of Brunswick, Schlegel of Leyden, M. de Selys-Longohamps, and M. Moquin- 
Tandon. 
‘Dr. Bree is favourably known to ornithologists hy numerous contributions to our zoological 
periodicals, in all of which there is found the same genial spirit, and the same tone of good 
feeling, kindliness, and reverence, which pervade the present work. . . . The figures are, for 
the most part, highly satisfactory, and leave us in wonder how they could be produced, in 
combination with the full and copious text, for so small a price.’ — Athenmum.

‘Speaking of entomology, we should phaoe Mr. Morris’ “History of British Moths” at the head 
It gives a coloured figure of every known British inotli, together with dates of appearance’ 
localities, description, and food of caterpillar. It forms a handsome work for a library, and will’ 
we should hope, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology.’— Z7te Record ’ 
T, -F? easily imagrne that the anuounoement of the publication of a “Xatural Historv of 
British Moths- -^1 awaken a strong desire in many of our readers to become possessed of so 
de.sirable a teatiso. There are probably some thousands, especially among the younger portion 
of our population, who pay a little attention to entomology, and of these by 'far the gi'eater 
number devote their energies to the study of the butterflies and moths, the two great groups of

Histoiy of British Moths.” 'The illustrations are exceedingly numerous, occupying no fewer 
than 132 p^tes and mcludmg a figure of every species, and in some cases of the principal 
varieties, ihe figures are generally exceedhigly well executed and life-like: they are all coloured, 
doubtless asord great assistance to many a collector in naming liis captures .’ — The
