Sanderson (E. D.) & Peairs (L. M). Insect Pests of Farm, Garden 



and Orchard. — New York, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ; and London, 

 Chapman &: Hall, Ltd., 1921, 2nd Edn., vi + 707 pp., 604 ligs. 

 Price 26s. 



The present volume is the result of the junior author's revision of 

 the original work by Sanderson, and collates the results, more especially 

 those relating to methods of control, yielded by entomological investiga- 

 tion since the work was first issued in 1912. The main additions are 

 three chapters dealing with the insects directly attacking man and 

 domestic animals and with those injurious to citrus fruits. 



The discussions of life-histories, habits, and control are based upon 

 conditions east of the Rocky Mountains, practically no consideration 

 being given to the conditions of the Pacific Coast or to those of the 

 irrigated country of the Far West. The illustrations adequately meet 

 the needs of such a work of general reference, and the volume must 

 rank as one of the standard works on applied entomology.
