Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Insect Fauna of the Genus Crataegus: A Thesis, Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The genus is placed by many botanists in the family Rosaceae. Other botanists have divided the Rosaceae group and formed an apple family, Malaceae, in which Crataegus is included along with Malus, Pyrus, Cydonia, Mespilus, Sorbus, Amelanchier, Aronia, and Eriobotrya. The determination of species of Crataegus is as great a taxonomic problem to botanists as the determination of the parasitic Hymenoptera is to entomologists. During the first ten years of this century about one thousand species of Crataegus were described in North America. Many of them are now regarded as hybrids and varieties, and a still further reduction of species is in progress. This taxonomic uncertainty makes it impossible in many cases to recognize specific hosts for the insects that feed on the hawthorns.
