THE MOTH BOOK

By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND

This book serves as an introduction to the study of moths, but the student who has fully mastered the contents is as far advanced in his studies as are many men who were a few years ago regarded as eminent specialists. It is the standard reference book of North America on the subject.

Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, is one of the leading entomologists of the country and has had more experience in mounting and artistically posing moths and butterflies than any other living man.

There are 1,500 figures in the color plates and 300 text cuts illustrating 1,800 species of the moths of North America. This volume is the most complete on the subject which has thus far appeared, and contains 479 pages. Size 7 × 10.

Price, $4.00 net; $4.40 postpaid
