Abstract
THIS is the second volume on beetles in the complete English edition of Henri Fabre's entomological works. The first essay, “The Glow-worm,” which gives its name to the book, did not form part of the “Souvenirs Entomologiques,” but was written for translation into English towards the close of the veteran naturalist's life. Several chapters, like this first one, have already seen the light in English, but most of the book is fresh, and it is very convenient to have the studies on beetles brought together. Eventually there will be four volumes on beetles. The experienced translator, Mr. Alexander Teixeira de Mattos, has done his work with great skill.
