Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore

Mr. Stainton’s “Entomologist’s Annual for 1855” contains valuable hints of that gentleman’s on taking and arranging moths and butterflies; as well as of Mr. Wollaston’s on performing the same kind office for that far more numerous, and not less beautiful class, the beetles. There is also an admirable “Manual of British Butterflies and Moths,” by Mr. Stainton, in course of publication; but, perhaps, the most interesting of all entomological books which I have seen (and for introducing me to which I must express my hearty thanks to Mr. Stainton), is “Practical Hints respecting Moths and Butterflies, forming a Calendar of Entomological Operations,” {220} by Richard Shield, a simple London working-man.
