Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 19: June 1882 May 1883
The means employed by nature to keep species within due bounds - checking their inordinate increase or unnecessary decrease - are so certain and reliable in their results, and yet so obscure and difficult to trace in their modes of action, that almost any observations, however slight, which seem to be reliable as data from which to ascertain these means, are interesting and worthy of being put on record.
