Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript, by Mr. Nathan Banks, an assistant in this Bureau, entitled “A List of Works on North American Entomology.” Similar lists, by Mr. E. A. Schwarz and Mr. Nathan Banks, were published in 1888 and 1900 as Bulletin No. 19, old series, and Bulletin No. 24, new series, of this office. Since 1900 the number of publications on North American insects has greatly increased, so that Bulletin No. 24 is now very much out of date and there is a great demand among economic entomolo- gists, students, and other workers for a new bulletin covering the same subject. I therefore recommend the publication of this manuscript as Bulletin No. 81, of the Bureau of Entomology. Respectfully, : L. O. Howarp, Entomologist and Chief of Bureau. Hon. James WILson, Secretary of Agriculture. CONTENTS. Page.

INTRODUCTION. This list of works on North American insects is a revision of Bulletin No. 24 (new series), together with the additional titles that have been published since the issuance of that bulletin (1900). These additions are very extensive in some of the orders; indeed, in many families the recent literature has completely replaced all that before treated of the family in this country. The appearance of Wytsman’s Genera Insectorum has added many papers of the great- est importance to the systematist. The widening importance of entomology has shown that almost any group hitherto of little eco- nomic value may suddenly become of great importance. Therefore it is useful to keep posted on all systematic work. This list is intended to aid the student in such systematic study as is now a necessary qualification for economic work. A new chapter has been added, namely, titles of value in medical entomology. COMPREHENSIVE WORKS MOST USEFUL FOR THE STUDY OF NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS.
