Abstract
THIS volume, the contents of which are reprinted from the Naturalist, will be of great service to all students of the subject to which it relates. Dr. Ellis does not offer his list as conclusive; but he has “endeavoured to present, as completely as possible, the facts known with reference to the occurence in Lancashire and Cheshire of the British species of Lepidoptera.” The list is preceded by a short statement as to the geological and meteorological conditions which, by affecting the flora of the district, affect indirectly its lepidopterous fauna.
The Lepidopterous Fauna of Lancashire and Cheshire.
By John W. Ellis (Leeds: Printed by McCorquodale and Co., 1890.)
