E.Z.S. niustrated with 238 coloured Plates of Birds and Eggs. In 
Eive Volumes, super-royal 8vo., £5 5a. 
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-Longchamps, and M. Moqmn- 
Tandon. 
‘Dr Breo is favourably known to ornithologists by 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, m 
combinatiou with the full and copious text, for so small a yrice.’—Athenceum,.

‘Speaking of entomology, 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, description, and food of cate^iillar. It forms a handsome work for a libraiy, and will, 
we should hope, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology.’ — I'he Jiecord. 
‘We can easily imagine that the anuonneement of the publication of a “Hatunal History of 
British Moths” will awaken a strong desire in many of our readers to become possessed of_so 
desirable a treatise. There are probably some thousands, especially among tlie younger portion 
of our population, who pay a little attention to entomology, and of tliese by far the greater 
number devote tbeir energies to the study of the butterflies and moths, the two great groups of 
insects forming the order Lepidoptera of entomologists. To these, if we may judge from the 
recoUectioiis of our own early feelings, no present could be more welcome than a good “Natural 
History of British Moths.” The UlnstratiouB are exceedingly numerous, occupying no fewer 
than 132 plates, and including a figure of every species, and in some cases of the xirincipal 
varieties. The figures are generally exceedingly well executed and life-like; they are all coloured, 
and will doubtless afford great assistance to many a coUecter in naming his captures .’ — The 
Spectator.
