Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Butterflies I take it that this little "Peep at Nature," needs no apology; the exquisite coloured plates, produced direct from natural butterflies by the three-colour process, are a sufficient justification of its appearance. The author is a practical entomologist of many years´ standing. He writes from the fulness of a rich experience in the fields. He justly advocates the "Paisley" method of setting insects. I know it to be the more expeditious, and less calculated to damage specimens, than the ordinary process. His notes on the preservation of larvae will be welcome in many quarters. The publishers desire me to express their indebtedness to Messrs. Watkins and Doncaster, 36, Strand, W.C., for kindly arranging and lending the specimens from which the coloured plates have been produced.
