A LIST OF WORKS ON NORTH AMERICAN ENTOMOLOGY. 



INTRODUCTION. 



This list of works on North American insects is a revision of 

 Bulletin No, 24 (new series), together with the additional titles 

 that have been published since the issuance of that bulletin (1900). 

 These additions are very extensive in some of the orders; indeed, in 

 many families the recent literature has completely replaced all that 

 before treated of the family in this country. The appearance of 

 Wytsman's Genera Insectorum has added many papers of the great- 

 est importance to the systematist. The widening importance of 

 entomology has shown that almost any group hitherto of little eco- 

 nomic value may suddenly become of great importance. Therefore 

 it is useful to keep posted on all systematic work. 



This list is intended to aid the student in such systematic study 

 as is now a necessary qualification for economic work. 



A new chapter has been added, namely, titles of value in medical 

 entomology.
