The fauna of the western side of the Peninsula is at present best known, and is here principally treated; this area extends from Quedah to Johore. The work is published in quarto in sumptuous style, is unexceptionable in typography and profusely illustrated. Besides 46 plates of some of the best chromolithographs of butterflies which we have ever seen, there are 129 woodcuts scattered through the text, generally illustrating special structural features, especially in neuration and leg structure, which are of the greatest value. . . It remains only to say that a good deal of interesting reading will be found scattered through the portly volume, and that there are points in the preface worthy of careful attention.
