NOTRE LITTERATURE SCIENTIFIQUE 85 



lité aux amateurs. La Flore dic Témiscoiiata est illustrée 

 de plusieurs dessins inédits et de gravures hors texte qui 

 ajoutent à sa valeur scientifique. Souhaitons que le R. Frère 

 Victorin poursuive ses intéressantes études, et fasse pour 

 d'autres régions le travail qu'il a accompli pour le comté 

 fortuné de Témiscouata.

"INSECTES NUISIBLES ET MALADIES VEGETALES" 



There comes to us, "avec cordial hommage de l'auteur", 

 a copy of Bulletin No. 23 of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture of the Province of Québec, Canada. It is an illus- 

 trated popular brochure, by our old friend, the V. Rev. 

 Canon V. A Huard, on "Les Principales espèces d'In- 

 sectes nuisibles et de Maladies végétales". Most of thèse 

 noxious insects and diseases, e. g. the clothes moth, the 

 house fly, the flea, the bot fly, the flea beetle, the 

 cabbage louse, the June bug, the chinch bug, the 

 Hessian fly, the grasshopper, the brown rot, the apple 

 fungus, etc., occur also in this country, and the author's 

 brief instructions on how to get rid of them (for the bro- 

 chure is devoted mainly to this practical purpose) are of 

 universal application. Canon Huard, as most of our readers 

 knovv, is editor of the Naturaliste Canadien and officiai 

 entomologist of the Province of Québec. We cannot but 

 wish we had a few able priests like him in governmeutal 

 employ in this country.
