Abstract
THE study of entomology is always extending its range, as shown by the numerous books which continue to be published especially relating to the order Lepidoptera, or butterflies and moths, which always seems to be the most popular of all, probably because many insects included in it are attractive in appearance, and easy to collect. The study is pursued systematically in several of our great public schools, and Mr. Henderson informs us in his preface that “the entomological, like most of the other sections of the Natural History Society of Rugby School, is entered by examination,” and that as he did not find a suitable book for beginners to use in preparation for such an examination, he has compiled one for the purpose.
