Review (by Malcolm Storey)

One of the best books on the identification of our butterfllies, with (mostly) colour plates of both the upper and undersides of each sex as well as half-tone illustrations of eggs, larvae and pupae.

Obviously the names are well out of date, as are the remarks about frequency and distribution, but it remains a useful reference work.

Examine with Binoculars ( in the Hand is also useful)
