5. Elementary Entomology ; by E. Dwight Sanderson and 

 C. F. Jackson. Pp. vii, 372, with 496 illustrations. Boston and 

 New York (Ginn and Company). — This book is especially adapted 

 to the needs of students in agricultural and other colleges for a 

 text-book to accompany a short course in the elements of entomol- 

 ogy. The authors are practical entomologists, and this book deals 

 with the practical rather than the theoretical side of the subject. 

 It furnishes an excellent introduction to such courses in economic 

 entomology as may follow, and it will also be found to supply the 

 general reader with the essential facts regarding the structure, life- 

 history, and classification of insects. 



The attractive appearance of the book and the excellence of 

 the very numerous illustrations should arouse a wider interest in 

 insect study. It is such a book as the school-boy interested in 

 out-of-door life will delight in using for the identification of his 

 " specimens " and for information as to their ways of life. 



As is the case with so many first editions under joint author- 

 ship, minor discrepancies in statement occur. There are also 

 conspicuous orthographical errors. w. R. c.
