Abstract
UNTIL within the last few years, almost nothing was known of the Palæarctic fauna, except that of Europe and the Mediterranean sub-region, and though butterflies are the most attractive and the easiest collected of all insects, those with which we were acquainted from Siberia, the greater part of China, and Japan, might almost have been counted on the fingers.
Butterflies from China, Japan, and Corea.
By John Henry Leech, &c. 4to. With forty-three coloured plates. (London: R. H. Porter, 1892–1894.)
