Hi!

J. Feltwell, "Encyclopedia of Butterflies."  London: Quarto Publ. 288pp.
1993 New York, Prentice Hall. No ISBN #'s listed  in my reference
material. 

P. Smart's "Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Butterfly World.  1989.  New
York: Crescent Bks. 275pp.--fm. Reference.   My book shows published by
Salamander Books, Ltd. London & distributed by Random House Value
Publishing, New Jersey, 1975    275 pp.  ISBN 0-517-14249-X	
Looks like there can be a change of publishers for various reprints....

I prefer Smart over Lewis, though a close second, and both much better
than various other misc. world volumes.   H.L. Lewis. 1973  Butterflies
of the World.  London. 328 pp.  (208 pl) Chicago Follett   ISBN
0-517-481650   I have 1985 reprint by Crescent Books.  Both necessarily
very limited overview.... 

Would anyone care to compare Feltwell with Smart and Lewis?

Would you mind comparing "Checklist of the Leps of Australia" - Nielsen,
Edwards & Rangsi 1996  (529 pp--plates?)  with Fisher's "Field Guide to
Australian Butterflies," 1995 (272 pp. 16 pl)???

Thanks so much,
