Abstract
IT is now nearly seventy years since the appearance of McLachlan's monograph on British Neuroptera. In the meantime, the most notable contributions to a knowledge of this subject have been the studies by. the late C. L. Withycombe, which were mainly in the fields of morphology and biology. The book before us provides, as nearly as possible, a complete account of the British members of the Planipennia. Its author has also incorporated the results of his own observations, and has succeeded in producing a remarkably well-balanced treatise. It is gratifying to see morphology, biology and taxonomy all come in for adequate treatment.
