Abstract
SCIENCE for its exercise requires a medium. In years, one after another of the natural sciences in search of such a medium has discovered the insects. Physiologists, chemists, even zoologists are finding among the insects a rich harvest waiting to be gathered. Microbiology, the latest of the biological sciences to demand recognition in its own right, has now entered the field.
