Abstract
WE have received several parts of the journal entitled “Microentomology: Contributions to Entomology from the Natural History Museum of Stanford University”. This periodical is now in its fourth volume, and it only publishes papers emanating from the Museum just named. The text is from manuscript expressly typed by the Stanford University Press and reproduced by the photolith method. This type of publication has been adopted as a partial solution of the prevailing high costs of printing by monotype and hand-set type. The reproduction has been admirably carried out, but the main factor in the process is the perfect typing of the copy, since the method affords little or no opportunity for errors and corrections. Among the papers published in this journal is a series of articles on the Coccidæ by G. F. Ferris and collaborators. These are well and clearly illustrated and, in fact, illustrations form the notable feature of this publication, the saving on printing costs allowing for an unusually large number.
