102 THE REPORT OF THE No. 36 



gratulated on the completion of this work which will prove indispensable to students 

 of insects generally. The purpose of the volume is primarily, as Dr. Britton 

 states, to present a ready means for determining insects belonging to the 

 hymenoptera, along with such cardinal facts as will leave no doubt as to the desira- 

 bility of becoming familiar with the order as a whole, and more especially with 

 those forms that are beneficial to us and the few kinds that we call injurious.
