Abstract

LAST year was remarkable for the unusual number of publications on Lepidoptera which were issued from the press, especially an England. In addition to serial works and reprints, many independent works appeared, several of which have already been noticed in the columns of NATURE; and the three new books to which the present article refers, shows that the activity of entomologists in this direction is still as great as ever.
