Abstract
A SERIES of six large diagrams as follows, issued by the Society:—Large White Cabbage Butterfly, Turnip Fly, or Flea (the prospectus writes “Flee”) Beetle, Beet Fly, Wire Worm and Click Beetle, Hop Aphis or Green Fly, with Ladybird, Daddy Long-legs or Crane-fly. These diagrams seem admirably adopted for the purpose intended, and are accompanied by short explanations, including remedial prescriptions. In her scientific names Miss Ormerod puts the cart before the horse, by reversing the order of things, and making the lesser include the greater. When she indicates Agriotes (Elater) lineatus, Phyllotreta (Haltica) nemorum, and Phorodon (Aphis) humuli, she means that the parenthetical generic term is the larger and older, and that the preceding one is a later creation by those dreadful specialists; but she does not say so.
