These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Moths of the British Isles, First Series - Comprising the Families Sphingidae to Noctuidae: Look inside the book: A, {3}thickened and spreading out towards the tip (dilate); B, simple, thread-like (filiform) structure, without teeth, hairs, or bristles; C, fringed with fine hairs (ciliate); D, fringed with fine hairs, and with longer bristles at the joints (setose ciliate); E, the fringe in tufts (fasciculate); F, toothed, with fine hairs on the teeth (dentate ciliate); G, toothed with hairs in tufts from the teeth (dentate fasciculate); H, I, with double rows of hair scales (bipectinate); in I the projections are continued to the tip, and are themselves fringed with fine hairs, giving the antennæ a very feather-like appearance—the term 'plumose' is sometimes used to describe this form of antennæ; in H the pectinations do not reach the apical fourth, which is simple. ...These, as they fly in the lanes, about the borders or along the rides of woods, and over the vegetation in meadow, {11}fen, or moor, should furnish ample employment and keep the collector actively engaged until the time arrives for a first round of the trees upon which he has spread a dainty repast for the night-flying Noctuidæ, and those members of the Arctiidæ and Geometridæ, etc., that frequently look in where sweets are to be obtained.
