Abstract
THE last thirty years, or thereabouts, have been productive of great advance in our knowledge of entomophagous insects. This accumulated information is largely the outcome of the increasing use made of the biological method of pest control, which has stimulated investigation of both parasites and predators. Mr. Clausen is a distinguished entomologist on the staff of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His own studies have been mainly directed to the parasitic Hymenoptera and he is well qualified to write a book of this kind.
