Abstract
AFTER a delay of many years, the great work (576 pages, 67 plates) on the Caddis flies, by Cornelius Betten, has at last been published by the New York State Museum at Albany. It is reviewed by Dr. C. H. Kennedy in Annals of the Entomological Society of America, June 1935. The reviewer remarks: ” This much needed volume has finally appeared. The reviewer saw the revised manuscript at Cornell in 1915. It had been practically completed nine years before. Projects of more immediate use to the tax-payer used the Museum funds that had been planned for its publication. One new species after another was scooped by various casual students of the order. The last scoop was accomplished by one who had had the privilege of studying the manuscript and who rushed two papers through by publishing privately after the present volume was on the press.”
