BRITISH MOTHS.
The Moths of the British Isles. By Richard South, F.E.S. First Series. With Accurately Coloured Figures of Every Species and Many Varieties. (Frederick Warne and Co. 'Is. 6d. net.)—Mr. South, who is the editor of the Entomologist, has produced a complete and handy little guide to the moths of these islands. The first series, comprised in the present volume, deals with the families Sphingithe to Noctuidre, and the arrange- ment is almost the same as in Staudinger's Catalogue of 1901. The book may be slipped into the pocket, and the information is fairly full without being unduly technical. But the feature of the book is the coloured figure of each species. These, apparently
coloured photographs, are admirably printed and most beautifully coloured. There are also numerous uncoloured plates of eggs, larvae, and pupae.
