Abstract
IN the supplement lately issued to the volume of Seitz's “Macrolepidoptera” dealing with the palæarctic butterflies, the editor and his collaborators have, within their self-imposed limits, produced a work of great value and of high interest. How far these limits will commend themselves to students of the various groups concerned, may be doubtful; it is at least certain that disputable points have been carefully considered, and that in most of the decisions arrived at account has been taken of the dictates of common sense.
The Macrolepidoptera of the World: a Systematic Description of the hitherto known Macrolepidoptera.
Edited by Prof. Dr. Adalbert Seitz. Supplement to Vol. 1: The Pal"arctic Butterflies. Pp. vii + 399 + 16 plates. (Stuttgart: Alfred Kernen, 1932.) 132 gold marks.
