TUTT'S BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. George
Gill and Sons of London have just publish& a small octavo volume on British Butterflies by J. W. Tutt, which is far and away the beat manual of the subject we have seen. For
once in Enghind equal value is given to the early stages and histories of these insects. Particular, perhaps overmuch, attention is given to varietal forms, numerous new names being given to slight aberrations.
Illustra-
tions of all the butterflies are given and a number of the caterpillars and chrysalids are also figured, he illustrations being in general above the average.
The classification adopted follows in gen- eral the best recent work, the only real novelty, and an objectionable one, being the position of the Apaturinae, which are made a subfamily of Satyridae. A dozen prelimi nary chapters deal with the general subject. One may find fault here and there with some of the over-confident statements in the book, but taken all in all it is anexcellent work and must arouse in the e~nhryo naturalist a real interest in the problems -which any serious study of these attractive creature's brings to tliu front.
