 If one judges from the rcquMts for information that come to scien- 

 tific institutions, a work of this kind b urgently needed. Very few 

 householders, if any. escape insect pesu of one kind or another and 

 up-to-date, authoritattve informntion will now be available lo dw 

 public \^liile the work b not intnidcd as a trtatiac on hw a ct s fai re- 

 lation to disease, there are admirable ih a pt ms on some of these 

 pests. A valuable feature of the book b the m bl io grap h y following 

 each chapter. Each of the seventeen rhapteri deals with a group 

 of bisects l»vi"f rebtcd act ivities. Thb b^B lu i tiat ed by the chap- 

 ters on insects tnilttrious to dothcs and cnrpctsi aats and their ac- 

 tivities and iiii^ialMis of the hotmeholit We consider thU one n« 

 the most useful of the rcecnt boohs on economic entomology or its 

 subdivisions.— H. S. (,4drrfHumtfmt.)

 The junior amhor states that the book in part b the remit of 

 nearly twenty years' work by Protfssor Shngerland in studying the 

 insect proldems of the fniit-yowe r s of New York State. Tht more 

 i m port a nt insect pc«ts of drcidnoas trees are treated and minor pests 

 altogether omitted. The means of control are given from the stand- 

 point of the C BW i meicbl fruit-grower. Most of the illHatrations are 

 from photographs by Professor Snngcrland. There are 49^ PNI'"> 

 m6 Qlnstrattons and an index of the naoMs of the insects treated. 

 The fruit insects make a rather compact group and lend t hems e l ves 

 very well to special treatment There are professional grower s who 

 would find sach a work valuable to them and it will also appeal to 

 tiw suh ui b nnil e who has fruit trees around hb home. The tthistni- 

 tkMU are eeoeraOy satbfactory and in some cases excellenL Some 

 of (' ' themsehrrs better to half-tone ilhiHialiiJii than others 



Prnt land was an expert on insect p hoto g i ap hy. The junior 



author has ac c oa sp l is hed a valuable piece of work m bnnfnng to 

 light these risaarchts of Prof. SHt^erland.— H. S. (.Idrf.)
