Abstract
TWO more instalments of the entomological portion I of this great work show how earnestly it is being pushed on; and if it can be completed on the same lavish scale of illustration, and with the same thoroughness of execution, it will afford materials for a true conception of the richness of insect life in the tropical regions far beyond anything that has been hitherto attempted. Not only will it be superior to any other work of a similar character, but it will probably surpass in magnitude all the other works dealing with tropical insect-faunas combined.
