Abstract
WE welcome the appearance of the third edition of this standard book, which has justly enjoyed popularity as being one of the best manuals dealing with North American agricultural pests. It is similar in general arrangement to its forerunners and contains about the same amount of subject matter, but, owing to the larger page employed, the total number of pages is considerably reduced. Only a few of the articles written by Prof. Dwight Sanderson in the first edition remain more or less unaltered. For the rest, the book has been largely rewritten by Prof. L. M. Peairs, who has embodied the results of recent investigations and included a number of new illustrations. As stated in the preface, the edition is properly that of Prof. Peairs, although the name of the original author is retained.
