Vegetable Wasps and Plant Worms; a Popular History of Entomogenous Fungi, or Fungi parasitic upon Insects

Abstract

IT is somewhat surprising that a book on a subject of such importance alike to the entomologist and fungologist has not been forthcoming long ago. It is true that a Memoir on the subject was undertaken thirty-five years ago by Mr. G. R. Gray, but, being privately printed, was limited in circulation. To this work Dr. Cooke admits his indebtedness for a large amount of information bearing on the entomological aspect of the subject, and it is to be regrerted that he was not aware of the existence of a much extended manuscript revision of the same work, at present in the Botanical Department, Natural History Museum.

Vegetable Wasps and Plant Worms; a Popular History of Entomogenous Fungi, or Fungi parasitic upon Insects.
