FOREST PROTECTION 



REFERENCE LIST 



COMPILED BY F. D. COUDEN AND C. A. SCHENCK 



The following pages will refer the student to publications, most of which 

 should be in the library of the up-to-date forester, where accounts, more 

 or less complete, of certain species of insects injurious to forest and shade 

 trees may be found. The list is by no means complete, and it is very likely 

 that a few even of the important species have been omitted. The study 

 of Forest Entomology is still in its infancy; but the literature, while not 

 yet voluminous, is so scattered that it would not be profitable for the pre- 

 sent purpose to go through it with a fine-toothed comb. A great many 

 errors will undoubtedly be noticed by Entomologists, particularly as to 

 synonymy; but it is hoped, nevertheless, that the list will be of some value 

 to the students of Forestry for whom it is designed. 



The arrangement is faulty in that many polyphagous species of insects 

 are not listed under all of their host trees. Porthetria dispar, for instance, 

 is listed only under Quercus, whereas the caterpillars of the Gipsy Moth 

 feed indiscriminately on the foilage of almost any tree within their range. 

 The use of the "index," however, will enable the student to find the refer- 

 ences to any insect listed, without regard to the host under which the re- 

 ference is given. 



Here follow the complete titles of all the publications used in the pre- 

 paration of the list. The abbreviations used in the list proper are printed 

 here in Black-Faced Type, and are followed by the titles, names of authors' 

 and years of publication.
