COMSTOCK’S MANUAL.

Professor and Mrs. Comstock have made a

happy venture in their new Manual.* It isquite different in plan and execution fromanything before attempted and, especiallyin simplicity of language, is far better fittedfor the beginner than any work with whichwe are acquainted. Excepting for themention of the commoner forms, admirablyillustrated and almost entirely by originalcuts (a few of the smaller of which havebeen unfortunately ruined in the printing),the student is carried only as far as thefamilies. More than that would be utterlyimpossible in a single volume, but it wouldhave added greatly to its usefulness if foreach family, either in its place or in an

appendix, short references had been made

A Manual for the study of insects, by J. H. Comstockand Anna B. Comstock. 2,7o pp., 797 figs., pl. Ithaca895, .

to the principal literature to enable thestudent to know how to proceed further,

In carrying out their plan the authors have

employed a vast number of tables of greatsimplicity and directness; but not contentwith this they have introduced (for the first

time, we believe, in such a manual) a uniform

terminology for the venation of the wingsof all insects, so that the work becomes an

important aid to the advanced student as

well. Their system has the merit of sim-

plicity and of accordance with the principalterminology heretofore employed, but the

working of this out for all the orders ofinsects and its direct application throughout,merits the thanks of every student and must

have entailed far more labor than is com-

monly given to a volume of this sort. It is

in the nature of an original research. Wehave not space to enter upon further details

but must express our belief that the volume

will greatly further the study of insects in

this country.
