 and 3lbs., were captured during the season of 1916 in the pre-

Insect Enemies. By C. A. Ealand. London : Grant Richards, 223 pp.,

 life histories and destructive habits of a number of important British 



Insect Enemies.

injurious insects. Together with descriptions enabling them to be recog- 

 nised, and methods by means of which they may be held in check.' Mr. 

 Ealand departs from the usual plan of a book on insects, and instead of 

 praising the bsauties of the moths, beetles, flies, mites, etc., he shows in 

 no hesitating way how harmful many of them are. He deals with them 

 under the heads of pests of the Forest, of Fruit Trees, of Flowers, of 

 Vegetables, or Crops, of Domestic Animals, of the Household, of Ware- 

 houses, and of man. He is much indebted to the Board of Agriculture 

 and Fisheries, whose leaflets, dealing with similar subjects, are well known. 

 There are numerous illustrations, the nature of which can be gathered 

 from the specimen which we are enabled to reproduce herewith.
