l( Por those interested in the study of the smaller moths, 
this book will be found of great use: the ways of catching, 
keeping, rearing, killing and setting these minute creatures 
are fully detailed.”— Athenmum. 
“This edition presents several new features ; firstly, some 
fourteen pages devoted to the Entomological localities in the 
neighbourhood of London, with the means of getting to them, 
and"what to be found in them fully detailed. To the London 
Entomologist this will, we think, prove a welcome addition; 
secondly, we have an account of ten days at Kilmun, with a 
trip to the Island of Arran ; and lastly, we have the journal

found in every collector’s possession; as a handbook they 
will find it invaluable .”—Natural History Review.

arrangement of the carnivorous ground beetles indigenous 
to the British Isles, a group to which I have paid much 
attention . • I have been unwilling to reject any 
reputed 'indigenous species which I felt I could reasonably 
retain ; and yet, after full consideration, have been compelled 
to reduce their aggregate amount very considerably, either 
because many of them are evidently varieties of others, or 
because no sufficiently conclusive evidence exists to warrant 
their retention in the British launa. Pfcface.
