DEDICATION. 



TO SAMUEL H. SCUDDER. 



MY DEAR SCUDDER : You and I were drawn together 

 many years ago by a common love for insects and their 

 ways. 



I dedicate this little volume of ephemeral essays to 

 you in recognition of your worth as a man and a 

 scientist, and as a token of warm friendship. 



Yours sincerely, 



A. S. PACKARD, JR.
