Hints concerning collecting, breeding, preserv- 

 ing, and classifying insects; ''catch characters," 

 rather than lengthy descriptions, by which com- 

 monly observed insects, and insects which would 

 repay observation, may be recognized ; outlines 

 of interesting or economically important insect 

 life histories ; and an untechnical but scientifi- 

 cally accurate text. 



Uniform with Schuyler Mathews's books of 

 Birds, Flowers, and Trees.
