Special terms (caudad, ventrad, &c. ), proposed by Prof. Wilder, we 

 think their omission in some of the cases where used would have been 

 of decided advantage: for instance, on page lo, he says ''The gencT' or 

 cheeks are the lateral portion of the epicranium, which are usuall}' 

 ventrad of the eyes and caudad of the mandibles." Would it not have 

 been just as accurate, just as scientific, and much more intelligible to 

 have located them de/oza the eyes ami behind the mandibles ? We really 

 cannot see the advantage of the unnecessary use of unusual and ultra- 

 technical terms in an Introductory work. With these small faultfind- 

 ings, we most heartily recommend the book to all students of Entomo- 

 logy, old or young.
