Abstract
THIS little book is uniform with previous books by the same author on Birds' Eggs and Nests and Butterflies, and on Wild Flowers by Hilderic Friend. It will be very useful to young entomologists as an introduction to larger works on the subject, for the preliminary instructions relating to collecting, observing, breeding, c., are very complete; and though the numerous figures are not all equally good, the greater part are easily recognisable. Remarks on classification are confined to brief notices of the principal groups and families; species are referred to by their English names and the Latin name of each, generic names being omitted. Under each month a selection of the most representative Sphinges, Bombyces, Noctuids, and Geometræ are enumerated, the Micro-Lepidoptera being thus excluded. One hundred and twenty-nine species are described and figured.
