The Elements of Insect Anatomy. An Outline fcfr the Use of Students 

 in Entomological Laboratories. By John Henry Comstock, Professor of 

 General Invertebrate Zoology in Cornell University, and Vernon L. Kel- 

 logg, Professor of Entomology in Leland Stanford, Jr. , University. Third 

 Edition, Revised. Comstock Publishing Co., Ithaca., N. Y., 1901. This 

 is a work of 139 pages and index. The fact that two editions have been 

 exhausted speaks well for the value of the book. The modern terms 

 used for denoting the position of various parts are a decided advance 

 over the former ambiguous terms, and we hope all entomologists will 

 adopt the newer system. The external anatomy of a common locust is 

 given in detail. The cockroach is also used to illustrate the external 

 parts. Corydalis corntita is used as an example in studying the internal 

 anatomy of an insect. A valuable feature is the using for study insects 

 that have a wide distribution, or in some cases species are selected from 

 both the eastern and western parts of the United States. There is an 

 important chapter on insect histology which gives methods of staining 

 and imbedding for sections. The work is evidently the outcome of a
