This beautiful addition to the Nelson series of hand-books on the natural history of Africa is the most thorough and lavishly illustrated work on its subject so far published. Dr E. Pinhey, the author, is the Keeper of Entomology in the National Museum, Bulawayo. He is the established authority on his subject and in this book he reveals in clear and fascinating terms the whole wealth of his knowledge of the life and habits of some of the most beautiful of all living creatures.
Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white, with chapters on the collecting, preserving, life cycles and identification of the great majority of the butterflies found in Southern Africa, this book will be a delight to own for everyone interested in the natural history of the wonderful world around them.
