Dr. Howard, Chief of the Division of Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, and the foremost authority in this (p. 187)
country, gives us full life-histories of the bees, wasps, ants,
grasshoppers, flies, and other North American insects--exclusive of
the butterflies, moths, and beetles. A separate section is devoted to
the subject of collecting and preserving the different specimens.
There are sixteen pages of color plates, thirty-two pages of
half-tones, and about three hundred black and white text
illustrations.
