Miss ELEANOR ORMEROD 



Consulting Entomologist to the Royal Agricultural Society, and 

 Fellow of the Meteorological Society. 



DEAR Miss ORMEROD, 



For thirty years you have been a pioneer in the fields 

 of agricultural zoology and chemistry, and it may most truly be 

 said that no woman has ever done so much as you have to protect 

 agriculture against its natural enemies. In the special departments 

 to which you have devoted your life, it is universally admitted that 

 you are without a rival. 



My little volumes do not compete with work so serious as yours, 

 yet you have gratified me with your commendation of their truthful- 

 ness, and you have permitted me the pleasure of dedicating to you 

 this one, in some chapters of which I deal with the classes which 

 are most familiar to yourself. 



Believe me to be 



Yours very sincerely, 



ELIZA BRIGHTWEN.
