Among those of less than a hundred, Belgium, Chile, Cuha. Fiji,

 East Africa are recorded with more than 50 each.

 activities of the different countries as could easily be shown. Of

 Some are long and most important ; others are short and relatively

 of Entomology, in publishing its very competent Review, has done 

 the greatest single service to applied entomology that can be thought 

 of by the present writer. 



CONCLUSION: THE OUTLOOK 



The harm done by insects to the human race appears to have been 

 increasing with growing rapidity for very many years. The realiza- 

 tion of this fact has come to us only in comparatively recent times. 

 And still more recently have we come to realize that we ourselves 

 have created the conditions that have brought this about. But it seems 

 that we have at last awakened to the danger and that good minds in 

 rapidly increasing number are looking at most of our insect problems 

 in an understanding way. The insect prol)lem as a whole, however, 

 has an almost infinite number of aspects, and to bring the insects under 

 control as we have done with most other forms of life will need the 

 cooperative work of very many fine minds of all the advanced na- 

 tions in the years that are coming. It will not be the insects that will
