Scudder's Brief Guide to the Com-
moner Butterflies.
By SAMUEL H. SCUDDER, author of "But-
terflies of the Eastern United States and Canada,"etc. xi + 205 pp. 12mo. $1.25.
An introduction, for the young student, to the names and something of the relationship and lives of our commoner butterflies.
The
author has selected
for treatment the butter-
flies, less than one hundred in number, which would be almost surely met with by an in- dustrious collector in a course of a year's or two year's work in our Northern
States east
of the Great Plains, and in Canada. While all the apparatus necessary to identify these butterflies, in their earlier as well as perfect stage, is supplied, it is far from the author's purpose to treat them as if they were so many mere postage-stamps to be classified and as- ranged in a cabinet.
He has accordingly
added to the descriptions of the different spe- cies, their most obvious stages, some of the curious facts concerning their periodicity and their habits of life.
A short introduction to
the study of butterflies in general is prefixed *
to the work, and is followed by a brief account of the principal literature of the subject. Scudder's The Life of a Butterfly.
A Chapter in Natural History for
the General Reader.
By SAMUEL H. SCUDDER. 186 pp. 16mo.
$1 .oo.
In this book the author has tried to present in untechnical language the story of the life of one of our most conspicuous American
butterflies. At the same time, by introduc- ing into the
account of its anatomy, devel-
opment, distribution, enemies, and seasonal changes some comparisons with the more or less dissimilar structure and life of other but- terflies, and particularly of our native forms, he has endeavored to give, in some fashion and in brief space, a general account of the lives of the whole tribe.
By using a single
butterfly as a special text, one may discourse at pleasure of many; and in the limited field which our native butterflies cover, this meth- od has a certain advantage from its sin~plicity and directness.
