However entomologists have always had considerable difficulty in procuring the rare and costly works and the innumerable publications in which the literature on the subject is to be found. There is therefore a distinct need of a synthetic work which would unite all the information on each species and at the same time by its moderate price would be within the reach of every student. "It is this want which the author of the proposed work on Rhopalocera Palaearctica now offered to you, has endeavoured to satisfy. His intention is not only to render the work useful to the amateur for the classification of his specimens, but to give it a really scientific value by an exhaustive study of all the geographical, seasonal and accidental forms of each species. "Few persons have any idea of the extent to which many species vary, and how 0 14 0 vain it is to imagine that one or two specimens can suffice to represent each species "The author is convinced that long and minute descriptions are absolutely insuffi- 3012 WALKER (F.).
