Certainly by far the most important work on Caloptenus spretus that 
has hitherto appeared. Everything in connection with the subject is 
treated in minute detail from scientific, popular, and economic aspects, 
so that any brief analysis is impossible. The woodcuts are very numerous, 
but mostly not original. The five plates are occupied by: (1), C. 
spretus^ (2) C. femur-ruhrum, (3) C. atlaniSf (4) the hypermetamorphoses 
of Epicautia and JHornia, (6) histology of the locust ; they are beautifully 
executed. Cf. also notes by Thomas on the distribution of C. spretus in 
Dakota and Montana; Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. iv. pp. 486-601.
