Several things were kept in mind in the preparation of this 
collection. It was designed primarily to be of the greatest pos- 
sible value to all those who are obliged to control insects or 
suffer financial loss; and, to accomplish this, insects injurious 
to the different crops and to various products were given a very 
prominent place in the exhibit. These injurious species are 
also represented, so far as possible, in their different stages, 
egg, larva, pupa and adult, and any peculiarities of habit 
(specially those bearing on the character of the injury) are illus- 
trated. Thus in looking over the exhibit of injurious forms, 
the visitor has before him an epitome of the life of the depre- 
dator. He sees not only the insect in its injurious stage but 
also in its other forms, and in a few moments he can grasp 
many of the essential facts in the life history of a pest. The 
illustrations of the work of the injurious species are frequently 
very helpful in enabling a farmer to recognize the author of 
what was to him previously a mysterious injury. A catalogue 
of the collection was also prepared, and its value much 
enhanced by the addition of references to the principal notices 
of economic groups and also of individual species, thus making 
it practically a reference book to the latest and most accessible 
accounts of the various pests represented, and, in addition to
