INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
Reapers of the present author’s “ British Butterflies ” 
in the Peeps at Nature Series will, I am confident, be 
pleased to have this companion volume on ‘* Moths” 
by the same experienced entomologist. In comment- 
ing on “ British Butterflies,” the Entomologists’ Monthly 
Magazine declares: ‘ We have no hesitation in saying 
that in point of clearness and brilliancy these coloured 
figures are the best of the kind that we have seen... . 
Altogether the book may be strongly recommended.” 
I venture to think that the illustrations and text of 
the present volume merit the same high praise. The 
exquisite colour plates have been prepared by the 
three-colour process direct from insects kindly loaned 
and arranged, in accordance with the author’s specifica- 
tion, by Messrs, Watkins and Doncaster, 36, Strand, 
W.C., to whom we desire here to express our in- 
debtedness. The student must be careful to note 
that the figures on the colour plates are all three- 
quarters of the actual size of the moths represented. 
The subjects for the photographic plates were 
arranged with great care by the author from specimens 
in his own collection, the actual work of photograph- 
ing being done by the editor.
