Abstract
SINCE our notice of the last volume of this work entomologists have to regret the death of the accomplished author, well known as one of the best practical lepidopterists in England long before he commenced the elaborate monograph which he did not live to complete. Hitherto, however, there has been no interruption in the publication of the successive parts, and we understand that the manuscript was left practically complete to the end of the Tortricina, which is the more satisfactory as the Tortricina are a large and difficult group which have been somewhat neglected by most British lepidopterists, but to which Mr. Barrett devoted special attention.
