PREFACE. V 



of William Saunders, and I would refer others 

 to this recent publication on " Insects injurious 

 to Fruits " if fuller information upon this point 

 is desired. 



It is evident that a popular handbook cover- 

 ing so much ground must be condensed almost 

 to the degree of meagreness, and that everything 

 like sentiment must be excluded. The book is 

 submitted in the hope that it may prove helpful 

 to the inexperienced. W. C. S.
