THE ILLUStRATkIS. NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved hi his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, throe, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued to quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part IL
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had:

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph,
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the- very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volunie to our readers. Re regard It as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.
