8vo, cloth, 361 pages, illustrated, $2.00 



THIS is the first elementary entomology published avail- 

 able for high-school and agricultural-college use. It covers 

 the entire field of entomology, descriptions of families and of the 

 commoner species of insects being especially full and clear. 

 The aim throughout has been to keep the text as untechnical 

 as possible. 



The illustrations are many and excellent and will aid mate- 

 rially in identifying the species and understanding their habits. 

 Concise outlines for the laboratory study of the habits, anat- 

 omy, life histories, and classification of insects, as well as keys 

 to the orders and families of the commoner insects, directions 

 for the collection and preservation of insects, and a bibliography 

 will be found in the closing pages of the book. 



The book is designed particularly for use in agricultural 

 high schools and colleges, and to this end species of economic 

 importance have received special consideration. It will be 

 found equally adequate and satisfactory, however, as a manual 

 for the amateur entomologist. 



Not only well written and attractively illustrated, but remarkably 

 practical and well adapted to the needs of students beginning this im- 

 portant branch of zoology. It is so concise and full of practical sug- 

 gestions that I expect to find it exceedingly useful.
