The Butterfly Book.
Doubleday. 3.00
Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, has given us an authoritative account of the butterfly-life of North America north of Mexico, and at the same time has kept this book entirely within the comprehension of the unscientific nature-lover. Directions are given for the capture, preparation, and preservation, of specimens. There are forty-eight pages of color plates, reproducing more than a thousand North American butterflies, and several hundred black and white text illustrations.
