Zamorano. The few specimens I have from Zamorano were caught by students of the Pan American Agricultural School. This school is located in a valley 36 kilometers east of Tegucigalpa. It has several cloud forest peaks around it. The Sphingidae were attracted to the lights of the buildings.
The specimens collected are listed below:

BOOK REVIEWS
The Insect Realm, by Charles L. Hogue and Fred S. Truxal. 1970, 99 pp. -+- i-viii. Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Price $2.00 U.S.
This attractive little book was nominally produced to serve as a guide to the Hall of Insects at the Los Angeles County Museum. Such an abundance of information is presented in concise form, however, that the book could well serve as a text or reference in high school biology classes. Succesive chapters are devoted to the position of insects in the animal kingdom, to morphology and phylogeny, to growth and development and to the insect environment. Other sections deal with beneficial and injurious insects and the making of an insect collection. The chapter on classification gives brief and illustrated diagnoses of the principal insect orders. The book should be owned by all neophyte entomologists.

A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Britain and Europe, by L. G. Higgins and N. D. Riley, with color illustrations by Brian Hargreaves. Collins, London. 380 pp, 371 maps, 60 colored plates. September, 1970. 42s.
It has been 85 years since there was published in English as complete a study of the butterflies of western Europe and the British Isles as is presented in this splendid volume. I am sure that it will be the standard guide to those butterflies
