INDEX. 
*,” To enable this index to be of real practical value, without being 
unnecessarily bulky, its sub-headings seldom include items which occur 
under a section denoted by the principal heading, and to which the mark § 
after the figure calls attention. Thus “Queen Bee 4§” implies that an 
entire section on the subject of the queen will be found at page 4, whilst 
the entries which follow have reference to incidental allusions in other 
portions of the work. Many, however, of the items contained in that 
s ction, and strictly referring to the queen, will be found under some other 
heading, eg., Eggs, Sting, Royal Cells. 
The additions to a figure of bis or ter are made occasionally when the 
sndject is referred to respectively twice or thrice on a page, and the second 
time more or less independently of the first.
