Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Coccidae of the Wold
More than twenty-five years ago I took up the work of making a card catalogue of the Tortricidae for the use of my husband, Prof. C. H. Fernald, who had previously begun this task. Later the utility of the catalogue became so evident that it was extended to include all orders of North American insects for use at the Hatch Experi ment Station. The Coccidae proved to be so important from an economic standpoint, that it was decided to include for this family as complete references as possible to all the scientific literature of the world, and the convenience of such a catalogue to others has led to its publication in this form.
