PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



Cbe Tnsect Book 



By DR. L. O. HOWARD, 



Chief of Division of Entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



16 colored plates, 32 full-page half-tones and 300 text cuts 

 illustrating hundreds of species. 



A popular description by the foremost authority in this country of 

 the Bees, Wasps, Ants, Grasshoppers, Flies, and other North American 

 insects — exclusive of the Butterflies, Moths, and Beetles. It has full life 

 histories, giving an intimate account of the most wonderful facts in that 

 insect world all around us, which is so incompletely known, even by scientists. 

 A man may go into a city park, and with patience and industry find 

 insects never described by the entomologists. There is to-day almost 

 nothing that covers authoritatively, yet popularly, this vast field, so that 

 this volume has special importance. 



The INDEPENDENT says : "It is refreshing to see an entomologist of such eminent 



standing ignore the most popular insects and devote his space to the less and little known 



orders. One noteworthy feature of * The Insect Book ' is its frequent direct indica- 



^<>*,\, tion of fields wherein special study is likely to be well rewarded." 



Other books in the "New Nature Library" are: The Butterfly Book, The 

 Mushroom Book, Nature's Garden, Bird Homes, Birds That Hunt and 

 are Hunted, and Bird Neighbors. 



SIZE, 7^ X lo% ; pages, about 400 ; binding, cloth decorated, uniform with 

 " Nature's Garden " and the other Nature Study books.
