1884 1st edition. George Bell and Sons. London. Small 8vo. Ppvi,125,ii[blank],viii. Hand coloured plates, b/w line illustrations. Slight staining to pages. Good-plus in modern cloth binding.
Notes: "Containing figures and descriptions of every species, an account of their habits and localities, hints on preserving and arranging, etc.; the names and descriptions of all the varieties and synoptical tables showing the differences of species hard to identify." This is a detailed description of species and sub-species, taxonomically arranged, with detailed notes on identification. Good hand-coloured plates. Still useful and a classic in its genre.
