THE ILLUSTRATED 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, Tine of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at Ed. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at is. ed-._each part. Part X.
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 /dr.Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fnlly 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 volume to our readers. We regard it as .. very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

20c. per pound sterling, the equivalent of eleven years of the
above Annuity from the 1-13 November, 1869.
Bearing 7 per cent. interest, payable in London half-yearly on

Redeemable at par by an accumulating sinking fund in eleven
years, by half-yearly payments commencing on the Ist October
1870, and ending on the Ist April, 1881.
Principal and Interest payable in London, at Messrs. C. Devaux
and Co.'s, 62, King William-street, City.
The Certificates, to be redeemed each half-year, are to be

the pretence of a Notary Public, and one or more. of the Trus-
tees (hereafter named), or their nominee.
The numbers of the Certificates drawn will be advertised• in
two London newspapers.
The first drawing is to take place in July, 1870. Holders of
Scrip will be entitled to the beufit of the first drawing on pay-
ment of all the instalments on their Certificates drawn. _

The-first half-year's interest, and the Certificate drawn in July

instalments of 1-13 February and 1-13 May,, 1870, required fur
this purpose, are in hand.
The Annuity representing these Certificates is payable by the
Roumanian Government at Bucharest, in virtue of a Convention`
and Cahier des Charges, dated 3lst October-12th November,
1864, for the construction land maintenance of certain Iron
Bridges in Roumania.
This Annuity bears a double guarantee : •

Ist. The guarantee of the Government by Annual insertion in
the Budget of the state.
2nd. The hypothecation of the Revenues of the Salt Mines of
the United Roumanian Principalities.
The Revenue of the Salt Mines was Fs. 5,462,962 96c. as per
Budget of 1868.
The number of bridges specified by the Convention is nineteen.
The Government has since, with the consent of the Concession-
naires, altered the lengsh and design of certain bridges, and
increased the number to twenty-two. Of these, nineteen have
been already opened for traffic, and the others are being pro-
ceeded with by Messrs. Brassey and Co. under contract with the
Trustees.

The term fixed for the completion of certain of 'the bridges
having been exceeded under a previous contract, Messrs. Brassey
and Co. have agreed to pay any penalty for this delay which the
Government may be entitled to under the Convention.
Subject to the provisions of the Convention and Cahier des
Charges, the Concessionnaires are bound to do all that may be
necessary to maintain and keep in repair and open for traffic
each bridge for ten years from the date of such bridge being
tested and taken to by the Government.

To provide for this obligation during the remainder of the
tern, the Concessionaires will deposit eight hundred paid-up
Certificates in the hands of the Trustees. Upon such deposit
being made, any personal liability of the Concessionnaires for the
performance of this obligation is to be deemed to be at an end.
The Roumanian Iron Bridges Maintenance Company, Limited,
have entered into a contract with the Trustees to maintain and
keep in repair and open for traffic the said twenty-two Bridges,
in accordance with the requirements of the Cahier des Charges.
Under this Contract 600 of the Certificates to be retained by
the Trustees are to be applied, with the interest thereon, com-
mencing on the Ist April, 1871, in payment to the Company of
£4,000 half-yearly, and the remaining 200 Certificates are to be
retained, with interest, from the same date, by way of guarantee
for the due completion of the Contract. All these 800 Certificates
will be included in the half-yearly drawings'
The Concessionnnaires have authorised the Bank of Roumania
to receive the said Annuity from' the Roumanian Government,
which the Bank has engaged to remit, when received, by drafts
at three months' date at the exchange of 25fr. 20c. per pound
sterling, to Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. foriaecount of the Trustees.
A, Trust Deed has been executed, dated the 6th June 1870, by
which Messrs. Alexander Charles Louis Devaux, Thomas Brassey
the younger, and John Trevor Barkley, have been appointed
Trustees, for inter alia

Ist. The receipt of the Annuity.
