If man were not the dominant animal in the world, this would be the Age of Insects. Outnumbering in kinds the members of all other groups of animals combined, and showing a wealth of individuals and a degree of prolificness excelled only by the fishes among larger animals, and among smaller animals by the Protozoa, the insects have an indisputable claim on the attention of students of natural history by sheer force of numbers. But their claim to our interest rests on securer ground.

PRINTED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF HIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE
In their relation to cultivated crops, insects may conveniently be divided into three groups, viz. : Pests those which are harmful, causing by their depredations serious loss to the cultivator and a diminution of the country's food supply; Neutral or negligible those which do not directly influence crop production ; Beneficial those which by predaceous or parasitic habits diminish and keep in check the numbers of the Pests.

BY A.S. PACKARD, JR., AUTHOR Ol' ' GUIDE TO THE STUDY OF INSECTS," " LIFE HISTORIES," " COMMON INSECTS," ETC.
ANIMAL and plant life are mutually dependent. Each has a starting point from a simple cell—''the structural unit of the entire organized world." The zoologist and the botanist, ordinarily travelling in separate realms, seem to meet on common ground while studying the lowest representatives of their respective groups.

REPORT OF THE CANADIAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION 1913-18 VOLUME III: INSECTS INTRODUCTION LIST OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES COLLECTED BY THE EXPEDITION By C GORDON HEWITT
Our knowledge of the insect fauna of northern and arctic Canada has hitherto been so meagre, and our collections so lacking in material from that region that the invitation given me in 1913 by the Deputy Minister of Mines to prepare a memorandum of instructions concerning the collection of insects by the Canadian Arctic Expedition which was then being organized was more than welcome, and high hopes were entertained that a rich harvest would result.

12. Insects, their ways and means of living (1930) 430 pages
By Robert Evans Snodgrass United States Bureau of Entomology VOLUME FIVE
In the early days of zoology there were naturalists who spent much time out of doors observing the ways of the birds, the insects, and the other creatures of the fields and woods. These men were not steeped in technical learning. Nature was a source of inspiration and a delight to them; her manifestations were to be taken for granted and not questioned too closely.

13. The physiognomy of insects. (1927) 37 pages
A" ENTOMOLOGIST no less interested in his fellow men than in the insects may with increasing years of observa tion find increasing resemblance between the two some insects seeming almost human and some humans behaving very much like insects. This may be due in part to the fact if indeed it be a fact that the entomologist may come to resemble the objects with which he is so constantly occupied. If we can trust the statements of some observers, he may even take on some of the physical peculi arities of the group in which he specializes.

EXPERIMENT 1. The mole is fixed fore and aft, with a lashing of raphia, to a light horizontal cross-bar resting on two forks. The Necrophori, after long tiring themselves in digging under the body, end by severing the bonds. EXPERIMENT 2. A dead mouse is placed on the branches of a tuft of thyme. By dint of jerking, shaking and tugging at the body, the Burying-beetles succeed in extricating it from the twigs and bringing it down.
