Abstract
PROF. BERLESE'S interesting manual deals with the insects and arachnids found in Europe attack ing man or damaging his food and belongings. After considering those-lice, bugs, fleas, mos quitoes, Phlebotomus, Stomoxys, and ticks-which suck the blood of man, he proceeds in the two following chapters to give an account of house-flies, blowflies, etc., and of such household pests as cockroaches, psocids, Lepisma, moths, and mites. Under most of the species there is a short description of the adult and of the life-history and habits, and suggestions for the application of deterrents and destructive agents. In several cases, e.g. the plague flea, the characters are too briefly given to be of much service.
