A History of British Butterflies. By the Rev. P. O. Morris.

(John C. Nimmo.)—This is the eighth edition, completed in six monthly

parts. We are glad to see that a work of such genuine merit, the outcome of careful personal observation, is duly appreciated by students of the subject. The seventh edition appeared in 1893, a few months after the author's death, and the speedy call for another, considering the limited public to which such a book appeals, is a great proof of its value. The plates, seventy-nine in number, are coloured by hand.
