Abstract
THIS volume will certainly prove to be of great use to all students of insect and plant life. The. author's previous works, viz., “British Vegetable Galls,” published in 1901, and “British Oak Galls,” published in 1908; are already well known. The present book is intended for the pocket as a guide in the field to botanists and collectors. The descriptions are condensed and brief, but Mr. Connold has not forgotten the value of good illustrations, and each description is. accompanied by an excellent and typical photograph of the gall described. As the author points out, the systematic study of all British plant galls is as yet by no means complete. The subject offers a wide and interesting field for further research. This volume is well adapted to create an interest in these interesting vegetable structures, and to encourage the beginner to pursue his studies further.
