  Although 
  this 
  book 
  is 
  not 
  primarily 
  intended 
  for 
  the 
  economic 
  

   entomologist 
  and 
  embraces 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  which 
  have 
  

   not 
  yet 
  been 
  placed 
  upon 
  the 
  Hst 
  of 
  pests, 
  it 
  forms, 
  nevertheless, 
  an 
  

   exceedingly 
  valuable 
  work 
  of 
  reference 
  on 
  the 
  subject, 
  and 
  the 
  author 
  

   has 
  rendered 
  no 
  small 
  service 
  to 
  economic 
  entomology 
  by 
  making 
  

   it 
  possible, 
  through 
  indices 
  of 
  this 
  kind, 
  to 
  trace 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  

   referred 
  to, 
  either 
  under 
  their 
  scientific 
  or 
  popular 
  names, 
  and 
  to 
  lay 
  

   hands 
  at 
  once 
  upon 
  information 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  distribution, 
  food-plants 
  

   and 
  general 
  habits. 
  

  

  A 
  similar 
  book 
  deahng 
  with 
  other 
  orders 
  of 
  insects, 
  and 
  especially 
  

   those 
  which 
  are 
  injurious 
  to 
  crops, 
  would 
  be 
  of 
  the 
  greatest 
  possible 
  

   assistance 
  to 
  economic 
  entomologists, 
  and 
  would 
  save 
  a 
  large 
  amount 
  

   of 
  time 
  and 
  labour. 
  There 
  is 
  great 
  need 
  of 
  a 
  rehable 
  polyglot 
  index 
  of 
  

   popular 
  names, 
  not 
  only 
  of 
  insects 
  but 
  of 
  plants, 
  as 
  there 
  seems 
  to 
  

   be 
  no 
  reasonable 
  probabiHty 
  of 
  the 
  abandonment 
  of 
  their 
  use. 
  The 
  

   frequent 
  neglect 
  of 
  authors 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  scientific 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  insect 
  

   whose 
  depredations 
  they 
  are 
  describing, 
  is 
  a 
  cause 
  of 
  doubt 
  and 
  often 
  

   of 
  error, 
  and 
  this 
  book 
  will 
  help 
  to 
  remove 
  at 
  least 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  

   difficulties 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  German 
  language 
  is 
  concerned.

  The 
  author, 
  who 
  is 
  the 
  Entomologist 
  to 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  Bess- 
  

   arabia, 
  has 
  been 
  deputed 
  by 
  the 
  Zemstvo 
  to 
  organise 
  specimen 
  orchards 
  

   in 
  various 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  government 
  in 
  which 
  to 
  exhibit 
  all 
  the 
  remedies 
  

   and 
  operations 
  recommended 
  by 
  the 
  Station 
  for 
  combating 
  pests. 
  

   In 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  report 
  he 
  deals 
  with 
  his 
  work 
  on 
  pests 
  of 
  orchards 
  

   and 
  vineyards. 
  

  

  Twenty-seven 
  such 
  specimen 
  orchards 
  have 
  been 
  estabhshed 
  in 
  the 
  

   districts 
  of 
  Chotin, 
  Benderi 
  and 
  Kishinev, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  peasants 
  

   depend 
  mainly 
  for 
  their 
  hvehhood 
  on 
  the 
  yield 
  of 
  their 
  fruit 
  trees. 
  

   The 
  author 
  usually 
  selected 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  some 
  peasant's 
  orchard 
  

   which 
  was 
  situated 
  along 
  a 
  high 
  road, 
  so 
  that 
  all 
  the 
  passers-by 
  could 
  

   see 
  what 
  was 
  being 
  done. 
  In 
  some 
  villages 
  these 
  orchards 
  belonged
