REFERENCES TO LITERATURE 



In such a work as this it is only possible to give a very small selection 

 from the vast mass of literature on Insects. The more recent papers 

 and memoirs on special subjects have in most cases been selected, since 

 they almost always include a list of the older writings. The text- 

 book of Packard (2) and the monograph of Lowne (4) both contain 

 an excellent bibliography of works dealing with the structure and 

 life-history of insects, while Sharp's volumes (3) give numerous 

 references to papers on classification and habits. For a complete 

 survey of entomological literature, the following catalogues are 

 necessary : — 



H, A. H.^GEN. Bibliotheca Entomologica, the complete literature 

 of Entomology up to the year 1862. Leipzig, 1862. 



O. Taschenberg. Bibliotheca Zoologica. Leipzig, 1887, etc. 

 (Vols. II. and III contain the Insect literature from 1861 to 

 1 880 inclusive.) 



The Zoological Record. London. Annual volumes since 1 864. 



Zoologischer Anzciger. Leipzig. Fortnightly from 1878 to 1896. 

 ■ Since 1896 the bibliographical section forms separate annual 

 volumes entitled Bibitographia Zoologica. 



The Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society^ the Arcliiv fiir Natur- 

 geichichte and the Zoologische Jahresbericht contain valuable 

 summaries of the more important entomological works.
