Abstract
THE Termites, or “white ants,” of the United States are described by Thomas E. Snyder from the bionomic and economic point of view in Bulletin 333 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Three species of Leucotermes—one an introduced immigrant from South Europe—are included in the survey. The principal injury caused by the termites is the destruction of wooden buildings and other structures, but at times they devour living trees and growing crops, as well as books, papers, cloth fabrics, and stored grain and flour.
