Abstract
THIS handbook forms an admirable short guide to all species of butterfly inhabiting the region it is intended to cover. The area in question includes the United States and adjacent Canada lying to the east of Nebraska and the Dakotas and as far south as the northern borders of Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia. The only other book that treats in any detail of the butterflies of the territory referred to is the large, expensive and long out-of-print work of S. H. Scudder.
