The Butterfly Hunters in the Caribbees. By Eugene Murray Aaron.
(Sampson Low and Co.)—As might be expected, the scientific interest of their quarry is stronger than any excitement likely to be felt in the adventures of the hunters themselves. Stories of this particular type are liable to become monotonous, but for those who thirst after entomological knowledge, they are doubtless fascinating. Our author feels bound to furnish in- formation of all kinds more or less connected with his subject, and indeed by doing so he has certainly added to the general interest of the book. Boys who read this story of two young Americans' introduction to some of the marvels of the Caribbees, will learn not only much about butterflies, but scarcely less about travel and history in sailing to the islands of Columbus and listening to what the "Dr. Bartlett" who conducts the party, has to say.
