Abstract
MR. GILLANDERS, who is woods manager to His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, has produced a useful book for beginners in his “Forest Entomology.” “The main feature which is attempted,” we are told in the preface, “is recognition of the insect from the damage, together with systematic characters and life-history details.” The first-named ideal has been well carried out, the figures given from photographs of the damage done being a great help to the practical forester and novice of forest entomology; we much regret, however, to see that the insects which cause the damage are frequently not shown at all.
Forest Entomology.
