A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There have beeu so many enquiries from people in all parts of A ustralia, as well as from visitors from other countries, for a book dealing with our insects, that the writer thinks that the time has come when aT ext Book dealing exclusively with Australian Entomology will be well received, both at home and abroad, by all those interested in this subject. The difficulty has been to write in a popular style so as to interest the general reader, and induce him to further follow his studies of the wonders of Natural History, yet at the same time to define the characteristics of the insects described and give some idea of their classification, so that it will not lose its value as aT ext Book to the student while enlarging the circle of its readers. Since the year 1770, whenS ir Joseph Banks captured the first diamond beetle on the sandy shores of Botany Bay, the majority of our insects have been described in rare oldE nglish or foreign publications, the Zoology of Voyages and Travels, or the Transactions and Proceedings of Scientific Societies consisting of many hundreds of volumes written in many different languages. Many of these original descriptions, written in English or Latin, are so brief and obscure that without seeing the type they are quite unintelligible even to the trained entomologist, and therefore are absolutely of no value to the beginner. Most of the earlier describei-s of Australian insects C(nfined their attention to beetles, moths, and butterflies.
