Overview

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, 1903 Dr. Weed's Insects and Insecticides (1891) treats of the more impor tant injurious insects and methods of controlling them in a volume of less than 300 pages. The limited space made a rigid selection impera tive, and the account of each species is brief. It is an exceedingly valuable work, and the following year was followed by Kellogg's Common Injurious Insects of Kansas, which covered the same field as the preceding work. The treatment is a little different, and a feature worthy of special mention is the brief diagnosis preceding the account of each species. Dr. Smith's Economic Entomology (1896) is a work prepared along very different lines from the preceding, and gives brief practical accounts of all the more important injurious insects within the limits of 466 octavo pages. The various accounts are necessarily limited and the arrangement is systematic, a discussion of the injurious or beneficial species of the different orders being preceded by a brief account of ordinal and family characteristics.
