Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Miscellaneous Results of the Work of the Division of Entomology, 1901, Vol. 5 The vigor of the attack in 1899, spreading perhaps from different infesting areas for hundreds of miles, was unexpected, and no effort was made to check the young grasshoppers at the time when remedial measures are more or less effective. Se little attention was paid to the grasshopper situation that the early molts had taken place and the nymphs had reached a considerable size before a condition almost equal to a plague was realized.

S. Rathvon at Lancaster, Pa. Later it was found by Walsh and Riley and other observers to be very abundant and occasionally very injurious in the Mississippi Valley. It is frequently noticed in the Northeastern cities, especially in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. It has been sent to this office by correspondents in Massachusetts, Ver mont, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, and what is apparently the same species has been received from Fort Worth, Tex., Omaha, N ehr., and from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, as well as northern and southern California.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 13: January to December, 1901 It has occurred to us that the end of the nineteenth century was a very fit and proper time to give a brief review of the entomological work that has been done during the past hundred years, and for this purpose we have asked some of our leading working entomologists to contribute a short article on what each considered the more important factors of progress in his own particular line of study. To our request we have had a generous response, and this number is the result. In order to recognise the progress made in entomological science during the century, it is necessary to consider what goes to the making of entomological science, and even a superficial consideration will show that the work comprised falls pretty clearly into the following lines: (1) The alphabet work of describing and naming the material with which one has to deal. (2) The study of the material with a view to its proper genealogical arrangement. (3) The accumulation of facts by experiment and observation. (4) The collection of isolated facts into systematic order and the deduction of sound generalisations relating to the phenomena of life from these facts. The intelligent observer and the capable reasoner are undoubtedly the two factors that make most for the advancement of science; the proper arrangement and classification of the facts observed and the clear setting forth of the conclusions reached, may then be added. There can be no doubt, whatever, that the progress of systematic work will be the feature by which the nineteenth century will be specially known to future generations of naturalists. In 1758 the known number of lepidoptera in the world was 535, by the end of the last century it had reached 2100, i.e., just about the number of species now known to inhabit the British Islands; at the present time the number of described species of lepidoptera can be little short of 80,000, and the work in other orders has been in this direction as hugely progressive. This work is necessarily of the greatest importance, and much more has still to be done in the same direction, yet one cannot but feel that it has been largely mechanical, that, in fact, the work of the century has been particularly dominated by what we may term the Linnean entomology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, 1894, Vol. 5 We are anxious to keep British entomologists in touch with those of similar tastes in various parts of the world. We do not think this is best done by publishing articles on work done, or descriptions of species from distant parts of the world these must be studied by the specialist who will buy the books he needs. But among the large amount of material which passes through our hands (and for the purpose of en larging our knowledge of what is being done in different parts of the world, and thus giving ourselves a broader view of the subject, we exchange with all foreign magazines that will exchange with us), there are often articles or books which contain information with which the British collector should be acquainted. These we discuss as occasion demands from our own British standpoint, and we feel satisfied that in so doing, we interest all our readers. Glowing accounts of how to catch Purple Emperors and Jersey Tigers may interest us occasionally, but we cannot continually get up an excitement on such subjects. One other matter we would mention, and in this we ask for the aid of all right-thinking entomologists. Britishers have been described as peculiar in their tastes and insular in their habits, with regard to matters entomological, and not without good reason. We have no sympathy with the man who prefers to remain ignorant because he is afraid to have foreign insects in his possession for comparison with British, lest he should be thought a cheat. Those men who study entomology as a science are well-known; they are above suspicion. At the same time, our insular prejudices have placed a high (if artificial) money value on rare and local British species. Why should they not have this value if they are thought worth it? That this is the case is proved by the fact that the value is fixed in British sale-rooms. But this artificial money value has led often to wholesale fraud, and we shall continue to protect our science by exposing such fraud wherever we find it existent, not so much from a sympathy with the victims, who sometimes appear to be pleased when victimised and extremely cross when a dirty piece of work is exposed, but on account of the fact that the introduction of foreign specimens as British, falsifies the data on which our scientific work is based, and disseminates error where we want to disseminate truth. Ignorance and error are the two greatest enemies of Science. Science is the well of absolute truth - all her devotees must seek to drink from'it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Entomologist, 1870-1, Vol. 5 Description. Of the Larva of Tryp/rcena C'urtisii. - I am by no means certain what is the natural food of this species; but in confinement it feeds freely on Plantago lanceolata (narrow-leaved plantain) principally during the night, resting in a perfectly straight position 011 the leaf-stalk during the day, or even concealed beneath the surface of the ground. The head is rather narrower than the 2md segment, and is porrected in crawling on the same plane as the body; it is highly glabrous, and emits a considerable number of soft flexible hairs directed forwards; the face is flattish, and there is no perceptible notch on the crown: the body is almost uniformly cylindrical; the three thoracic segments are however decidedly more slender than the rest, especially when elon gated in the action of crawling; they are also transversely wrinkled, each being divided into four sections, in addition to the fold or quasi-section which intervenes between each two segments; the 12th segment is dorsally elevated, and the raised portion terminates posteriorly in a square and sharply-defined trrrncature; there is a lateral skin-fold below the spiracle, but not very conspicuous; the anal claspers are stretched out behind when at rest, and extend decidedly beyond the anal flap: when annoyed the larva falls from its food-plant in a compact ring, and remains in that position a considerable time perfectly motionless: in this position the slender hairs scattered over the body become more perceptible, but are never very conspicuous; the skin is velvety. The colour of the head is a transparent palish umber-brown, but variegated and reticulated with rich sepia-brown; these darker reticulated markings form two quasi crescents, the convexities of which are placed back to back on the middle of the face, and two other somewhat Similar but smaller markings on the sides of the cheeks scarcely perceptible from above; the ocelli are of the same dark colour as these facial markings: the colour of the body.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Entomologica Americana, 1890, Vol. 6 A small number of the States of the Union had employed their State entomologists for some years past, and Canada her's since 1884. All of these officers had striven hard to do good and useful work in the vast field which lay before them. Recently, however, a great impulse has been given to practical science in all lines byythe very important Hatch Experiment Station Act, which was passed by Congress in 1888. This Act provides that a sum of Should be annually set aside for the purpose of carrying on scientific agricultural experiments in every State of the Union. In conse quence of this Act there have already been organized Experimental Stations, twenty-seven of which have entomologists on their staffs, and these officers have already issued much valuable practical in formation in the shape of bulletins to the farmers of their respective States. The operation of injurious insects are such an important factor in the success or failure of all crops grown, and the recogni tion of that fact is now becoming so wide-spread amongst the edu cated agricultural classes, that before long it is beyond question that the directors of the other Stations will see the advisability of adding an entomologist to their staff. The result of this will be that we Shall have in North America a large number of men specially trained for the work they have undertaken, with sufficient time and means at their disposal for carrying out any experiments which may be necessary. Surely, under such circumstances important results must follow. They-all have the same object in view - the discovery, as soon as possible, of practical - that is, efficient, simple and cheap -remedies for the various injurious insects which destroy produce. The work of all these students will, of course, have to be carried on independently, in widely separated localities, and a fact which will give special value to their labors will be, that similar experiments will be carried out carefully and scientifically under differing circum stances and with varying climatic conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Entomologist, 1894, Vol. 27: An Illustrated Journal of General Entomology The path of discovery is often a very tortuous one, and when a discovery can only be made by a series of observations, the fact that these observations are made singly, and only form a series when collected together, is often a real difficulty in the path of the philosophic student. Some try, indeed, to generalize from every individual fact, but surely they impede thelr own progress thereby, and nothing can be more distressing than to see great powers misapplied, in the vain attempt construct theories, for which the facts are not accumulated. - stainton.
