Esq., of Baltimore, on the Orthoptera and Hemlptera; Dr. Jolia G. Morris, of Baltimore, on the Lepidoptera ;E dward Norton, Esq., of Farraington, Connecticut, on the Hymenoptera; and Baron R. Osten Sacken, Secretary of the Russian Legation at Washington, on the Diptera. These distinguished entomologists have made specialties of the orders on which they have had the kindness to furnish notes, and their contributions have added much to the completeness of the work. I am greatly indebted, also, to Mr. A lex. E. R. Agassiz for very valuable services, and to Mr. Francis G. Sanborn, whose enthusiasm in making collections, and otherwise promoting the progress of the work, has continued unabated from the first. Also to Messrs. James M. Barnard and Edward S.

The drawings for the steel plates were made by Mr. Antoine Sonrel; those for the wood-cuts by the Messrs. Sonrel and J. Burckhardt. The engraving as well as coloring of the steel plates is the work of Mr. John H, I lichard; the engraving on wood, that of Mr. Henry Marsh. The work of these artists needs no comment. The printing has been done by Messrs. Welch, Bigelow, Co., of the University Press, Cambridge. This also speaks for itself. No labor has been spared to secure the utmost accuracy and perfection in every respe

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
