AMERICAN INSECTS 
BY VERNON L. KELLOGG 
Professor in Leland Stanford, Jr., University 
With 812 figures and 11 colored plates. 647 pp. $S-°o net (postage 34 
cents). A comprehensive account of the natural history of the insects of 
.America, written simply yet seriously so as to be acceptable to the general read- 
ing public as well as to professional students of nature. All of the insect orders 
represented in our country are treated in this single volume, which, despite its 
comprehensiveness and its profusion of illustrations, is so compactly made as to 
be in no way unwieldy. The book may be used for continuous reading by those 
wishing to inform themselves concerning the kinds and habits of American 
insects in general, or as a reference manual for authoritative information on 
classification, specific remedies for certain pests, special discussions of structural, 
physiological or ecological phases of insect biology, etc. 
“Certain to be widely useful . . . readable and profusely illustrated. It gives a great 
amount of information about the insects of this country, in such a manner that it is available 
to any intelligent person . . . other works are necessary for particular purposes ; but if I were 
asked to name a single work for a beginner, who at the same time meant business, I should not 
hesitate to recommend this new product of Stanford University.” — T. D. /t. Cockerell in The Dial.
