Besides these conspicuous species, the book treats also of the minuter 
and obscurer kinds, some of which are purely external, and can hardly be 
called parasites at all. It is illustrated by over fifty woodcuts, of which the 
two here reproduced (by the kindness of the author and publishers) are fair 
examples, and by four plates at the end, containing the same number of 
figures. As this is (with the exception of a privately printed memoir issued 
Fig. 2.—Cordyceps Taylori, from the Murrumbidgee, Australia. 
thirty-five years ago) the only attempt of the kind in English, it should 
recommend itself especially to entomologists, who could do a great deal to 
increase our knowledge of the subject; for it will be seen, on reading the 
book, that in many cases we are better acquainted with the parasite than 
with its host.
