 Professor Carpenter's researches on various groups of insects are so 

 well known to entomologists in general that a new book from his pen 

 is sure of a cordial welcome from them. This work is, to use the words 

 of his preface, "designed to serve as an introduction to the study of 

 growth and change in the life of insects," and he hopes that it "may be 

 of some service to serious workers in entomology as well as to begin 

 ners." 



The plan of the book is a good one. The reader is first introduced 

 to a few familiar examples of the changes that accompany growth in 

 the lives of insects, and the morphology of the adult insect is fully 

 explained before any attempt is made to classify the different types of 

 change met with. Then, by the use of the ('.rasshopper, Dragonfly and 

 Moth as examples, the reader is led to the generalized conceptions to 

 which entomologists have come to apply the comparative terms "anieta 

 bolic," "hemiinctaholir" and "lioli unetabolic." following Dr. Sharp'* 

 lead, the phenomena of metamorphosis amongst winged insects is then 

 divided into its two main sections, the "open" t\pe oi wing-growth 

 (Exopterygota) and the "hidden t\pe (Endopterygota), and examples
