For reference purposes the teacher can easily get some of 

 the following works on general entomology: Comstock's Man-

 American Insects (Henry Holt & Co., New York); Packard's 

 Text-book (Macmillan Co., New York); Folsom's Entomology

 Injurious to Vegetables (Orange Judd Co., New York); and 

 Harris' old but useful work, Insects Injurious to Vegetation.
