Abstract
WITH the present volume, and those by Matheson and by Riley and Johannsen, the student of medical entomology is very well catered for in North America. Prof. Herms has, in this book, brought out a complete revision of his "Medical and Veterinary Entomology", the second edition of which appeared in 1923. Since that time an enormous amount of information has accumulated. Its sifting and compression, necessitated in a book of this kind, is no light task, and Prof. Herms has accomplished the feat with notable success.
