Excerpt from Diseases of Crop-Plants in the Lesser Antilles Agriculture (part II). To Sir Francis Watts for valuable help in preparing the chapter on fungicides; to Miss E. M. Wakefield, of the Royal Gardens, Kew, for kindly assisting in proof reading, and Mr. S. F. Ashby, for assistance with the biblio graphy and illustrations to Dr. J. B. Farmer, Professor of Botany at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, not only for the immediate contribution of an introduction, but in a special sense as the director of a course of biological training in which information is held subordinate to essential principles. The writer must further gratefully acknowledge that without the constant assistance of his wife the labour of writing could never have been faced in the time available from other duties.

Excerpt from Insects Injurious to the Household and Annoying to Man The present work is not intended as a treatise on the relation of insects to disease. The author's colleagues are now at work on a thorough and extended discussion of that phase of the subject. In the following pages, the writer devotes the principal part of the discussion to the habits, injuries, and control of insects simply as pests of the household and of man, contenting himself with a brief summary of the relation of insects to disease. It is hardly to be expected that SO brief a work will include all of the insect pests that may invade the household but an attempt has been made to discuss, at least, the most important ones with which our present knowledge makes us more or less familiar. The erroneous ideas and unnecessary fears prevalent regarding the poisonous nature Of certain insects and their near relatives and the interest evinced in this matter have seemed to warrant the addition of a chapter on this subject. In this discussion, the author has at tempted to state the Simple truth and to clear away, as far as existing knowledge makes it possible, the hazy and almost superstitious notions regarding the venomous qualities of these small animals.

Excerpt from The Insect Pests of Clover and Alfalfa The present account contains not only new material, but also every thing Of importance that has previously appeared in our literature of the subject.

All the original articles are cited in the lists of references, as are also the more useful of the compiled articles. These references, tho not voluminous, are comprehensive, and sufficient to guide one directly to all the authentic sources of information on each subject treated.

Several electrotypes were Obtained from the Bureau of Entomology thru the courtesy Of the Chief, Dr. L. 0. Howard.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Some of the Insects Injurious to Vegetation The first edition of this work was printed in the year 1841. It formed one of the scientific Reports, which were prepared and published by the Commissioners on the Zoological and Botanical Survey of Massachusetts, agreeably to an order of the General Court, and at the expense of the State. The Commission for this Survey bore the date of June 10th, 1837; and the following instructions from his Excellency, Governor Everett, accompanied it: "It is presumed to have been a leading object of the Legislature, in authorizing this Survey, to promote the agricultural benefit of the Commonwealth, and you will keep carefully in view the economical relations of every subject of your enquiry. By this, however, it is not intended that scientific order, method, or comprehension, should be departed from. At the same time, that which is practically useful will receive a proportionally greater share of attention, than that which is merely curious; the promotion of comfort and happiness being the great human end of all science." Upon a division of duties among the Commissioners, the department of Insects was assigned to me. Some idea of the extent of this department may be formed by an examination of my Catalogues of the Insects of Massachusetts, appended to the first and second editions of Professor Hitchcock's Report, in which above 2300 species were enumerated; and these doubtless fall very far short of the actual number to be found within this Commonwealth. In entering upon my duty, I was deterred from attempting to describe all these insects by the magnitude of the undertaking, and by the consideration that such a work, much as it might promote the cause of science, if well done, could not be expected to prove either interesting or particularly useful to the great body of the people.
