Insects Injurious to Fruits. By Wititam Saunpers, F'.R.8.C., 
&e. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. London: 16, 
Southampton Street, Strand. 1888. 
Turis handsome volume will doubtless be welcomed by the 
many practical men in a country in which economic Entomology 
is of so great importance. Its 436 demy 8vo pages treat of 266 
insects injurious to nineteen fruit trees; and these are fully 
considered in their practical application, no part of the work 
being taken up with superfluous scientific descriptions or details ; 
the 440 mostly excellent woodcuts with which the volume is illus- 
trated being relied upon to aid the reader in his identification of 
any given pest. 
The author’s intentions are clearly stated in his preface as 
follows :—‘‘ Injurious insects are so universally distributed that 
there is no part of our continent where fruit-culture can be pro- 
fitably carried on without some effort being made to subdue them. 
Among the insect-hosts we have friends as well as foes, and it is 
to the friendly species that nature has assigned the task of 
keeping in subjection those which are destructive; these, in 
many instances, do their work most thoroughly, devouring in 
some cases the eggs, in others the bodies, of their victims. It 
is not uncommon to find the antipathy to insects carried so far 
that a war of extermination is waged on all, and thus many of 
man’s most efficient allies are consigned to destruction. ... It 
has been the aim of the author of this work to bring together 
all the important facts relating to insects known to be injurious 
to fruits in all parts of Canada and the United States, to add to 
the information thus obtained the knowledge he has acquired of 
the habits and life-history of many of our insect-pests by an 
experience of over twenty years as a fruit-grower and a student 
of Entomology, and to present the results in as concise and plain
