Text Book of British Butterflies and Moths

A superb old volume which gives advice on making a collection in its first section. The vast bulk of the work is given over to a list of all the British macro-lepidoptera, giving dates and times when each species is likely to be in each stage of its life-cycle. Food-plants for all species are also given. A very useful volume for the field lepdiopterist.
