INTRODUCTION.

Inquiries regarding the works most useful for the determination of
our native insects, as also about the most useful general works of ref-
erence, are among the most constantly recurring ones received by the
Entomologist; but satisfactory and short replies are in most instances
impossible, for the reason that the information is not contained in a
few comprehensive works, but is scattered through many different peri-
odicals and other publications. A complete list of such works, even of
those pertaining to a single Order of insects, is too long to be given in
an ordinary letter, and to obviate the difficulty experienced in such
correspondence this bulletin has been prepared.

It was not our intention to compile a complete bibliography of the
classification of North American insects, but to give briefly the refer-
ences to such works and papers as are most useful for the identification of
our insects. Thus, we originally planned to give only the titles of mon-
ographs or synopses of families or subfamilies and to reject all papers
which contained disconnected descriptions of new species, or revisions
and synopses of isolated genera. But while preparing the bulletin it
was felt to be advisable to include smaller Synoptic papers. For instance,
several large families, e. g., the Scarabeeidz among the Coleoptera, have
recently been quite carefully revised, but the literature is in the form
of synopses of single genera which, in their aggregate, form a more or
less complefe monograph of the whole family. In this case either these
smaller synopses had to be mentioned in this bulletin or the whole tam-
ily had to be omitted.

On the other hand, many of the monographs here mentioned are an-
tiquated, so as to be of little value at the present time; or they are
monographs comprising the genera and species of all countries, and
difficult for the student of the American fauna to use, from the fact that
the descriptions of the American genera are almost lost amongst the
mass of foreign material.

It were futile to attempt to discriminate in such an enumeration
between the more useful and the more or less useless, but as a rule we
would recommend to the student to consult rather the later than the

7

8

older publications. Unfortunately there are marked exceptions to the
rule; as a few of the latest synoptic and descriptive papers by the
younger authors are most insufficient and unsatisfactory. We have
added a list of the special works on Economie Entomology, and also
of those published by the U. S. Entomological Commission and by the
Department.

There are a good many comprehensive classificatory works on Euro-
pean insects, but the almost complete absence of such works in this
country is a great bar to the progress of entomology and is the inevit-
able outcome of the immense mass of inaterial to be worked up and of
the comparatively small number of workers in monographic entomology,
As will be seen from the contents of this bulletin, the publications of
this kind even in Orders most worked up, as in Coleoptera and Lepidop-
tera, are greatly scattered; while in the less popular Orders compara-
tively little has been done. Yet with the many earnest workers now in
the field we may hope to see this present want met at no very remote
period, and if the present bulletin should prove of temporary service it
- willnot have been prepared in vain, though intended chiefly to relieve
the Division of a great deal of letter-writing.

The preparation of the titles was originally placed in charge oi Mr.
B. Pickman Mann, but was in such shape when he left the office as to
require almost entire rewriting. This has been mainly done by Mr. E.
A. Schwarz, though other members of the Divisional force have assisted.

NotTE.—During the years 1864 to 1876, inclusive, the Department of

Agriculture published regularly monthly reports, mainly statistical in

their character (replaced since 1876 by the series of monthly ‘**Crop Re-

ports”), but which contained many short articles by the Entomologist,

Townend Glover. None of these articles would come within the scope

of the present bulletin, and the insects treated of may be ascertained

by reference to the ‘‘General Index of the Agricultural Reports of the

Patent Office and of the Department of Agriculture, from 1837 to 1876.”

HOW TO OBTAIN ENTOMOLOGICAL BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS.

Comparatively few of the works treating of the classification of North
American insects have been. published as separate books; but such as
have been so published, if of comparatively recent date, can be obtained
through the regular book trade. By far the greater number of the-
monographs and synopses mentioned in the preceding pages have
been published in scientific periodicals and transactions of scientific
societies. Thse periodicals and transactions can be obtained through
the societies which publish them and through the publishers; but,
in the case of transactions, single volumes, and more especially single
papers, are seldom sold, and the older volumes are liable to be out
of print. Moreover the expense attending the purchase of all of the
periodicals containing the publications on a given order of insects will
be so great as to put them beyond the reach of most entomologists.
The custom of placing at the disposal of authors a number of separate
copies of their papers overcomes this difficulty to some extent and cre-
ates a small supply. Thus it often happens that a person interested
can obtain a copy of a scientific paper by addressing the author person-
ally. Many of these separate copies also get into the possession of
dealers in second-hand books, and can be purchased from them. The
American Entomological Society of Philadelphia and also a few other
societies here and in Europe offer for sale from their duplicates many
of these authors’ extras, and in some cases publish lists. There are,
moreover, certain business establishments which make a specialty of
the sale of works and pamphlets on Natural History, including Ento-
mology, and it is chiefly through such establishments that the student
is enabled to secure the larger portion of the works needed. In Amer-
ica there is at present but one of these special dealers of any promi-
nence, viz, Dr. A. EK. Foote, of 1223 Belmont avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.
But in Kurope there are several of considerable reputation; among these
we may mention:

R. Friedlaender & Sohn, Carlstrasse, 11, Berlin, Germany.

Ed. André, 21 Boulevard Bretonniére, Beaune (Céte-d’Or), France.
H. W. Schmidt, Rannische Strasse, Nr. 1, Halle a. S, Germany.

J. B. Bailliere et fils, 19, Rue Hautefeuille, Paris, France.

Oswald Weigel, Konigsstrasse, 1, Leipzig, Germany.

U. Hoepli, Corso Vitt. Eman., 37, Milan, Italy.

Otto Harrassowitz, Querstrasse, 14, Leipzig, Germany.

William Wesley & Son, 28 Essex street, Strand, London, England.

All of these firms publish catalogues, and in writing to them the ento-
mological catalogue should be especially asked for. There are two firms
in New York which act as agents for all of these houses, and works can
be ordered through them or catalogues obtained from them. These are

76

B. Westermann & Co., 838 Broadway, New York, and Gustav E. Stech-
ert, 766 Broadway, New York.

By subscribing to the entomological periodicals published in this
country (a matter of but slight expense) the student may keep abreast
of the current literature. Short book reviews or notes published in
our periodicals call attention to the more important publications in
other countries. Moreover, the Zodlogischer Anzeiger, edited by Prof.
J. Victor Carus,in Leipzig, Germany, and published every fortnight,
gives a tolerably complete bibliography of the current entomological
literature at intervals of about six or eight weeks. The “ Nature
Novitates,”’ published every fortnight by R. Friedlaender & Sohn, Carl-
strasse, 11, Berlin, Germany, gives the titles of most recent works and
pampblets.

There are also three great annual publications, viz: ‘*‘ Die Fortschritte
auf dem Gebiet der Entomologie,” published in Wiegmann’s *“‘ Archiv
fiir Naturgeschichte”; ‘‘The Zodlogical Record,” published by the
Zoological Record Society, in London, England; and the * Zodlogische
Jahresberichte,” published by the Zodlogical Station at Naples, Italy,
which give the full literature of the previous year, discussing the more
important papers and giving a list of the new species, besides other
information. One or the other of these three publications is almost
indispensable to the student in any branch of Zodlogy, and ought to
be found in every public library in the country. Unfortunately, only
a year ago the editors of the “ Zodlogische Jahresberichte” found it nec-
essary, in order to reduce expenses, to curtail the scope of the work;
so that, beginning with the year 1887, this publication no longer con-
tains titles upon systematic and classificatory Zodlogy. Only biological
titles are now published, but the series up to 1887 is the most complete
thing of its kind.

A not inconsiderable portion of the North American literature on the
classification of insects has been published by the General Government
through various channels, and foremost among them are the Smith-
sonian Institution, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Na-
tional Museum, the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey, and the
reports of the various surveys of the Territories. Many of these pub-
lications are distributed free of cost to any one applying for them; while
others, like certain of the Smithsonian publications, are sold at a mod-
erate price to cover tke cost of publication. Many of them are out of
print, and can only be obtained through natural history book-dealers.
The firms mentioned above will have many of them, and Lowdermilk &
Co., of Washington, D. C., who make a specialty of Government pub-
lications, are always able to furnish many more.

Of the more general works, some of them can be obtained direct from
the publishers, and in such cases the publishers are mentioned in the
general list. The older ones are mostly out of print and can only be
obtained from second-hand dealers. The current State reports of Lint-

7

(7

ner and Forbes can be obtained from the secretaries of the respective
State Agricultural Societies at Albany, N. Y., and Springfield, DL,
while the reports of the Entomologists of the newly established State
Experiment Stations, of which a large number will soon be published,
can be obtained from the directors of the respective Stations. The
older reports of the State Entomologist of Missouri and the State Ento-
mologists of Illinois (Walsh, Le Baron, and Thomas) are all out of print
and can only be obtained by purchase from second-hand dealers. The
same may be said of the well-known and often quoted reports of Dr.
Fitch, which were published with the old volumes of the Transactions
of the New York State Agricultural Society.
