Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Insect Pests of the Lesser Antilles This Handbook, dealing with the Insect Pests of the Lesser Antilles, has been prepared by Mr. H. A. Ballou, M.Sc, Entomologist on the Staff of the Imperial Department of Agriculture, with the object, as is stated by the Author, of giving in plain and simple language, ´a brief general account of our present knowledge of some of the principal insect and mite pests of the crops grown in the Lesser Antilles; also of the pests attacking man and domestic animals, as well as of those of the household.´ As is stated further, the scope of the work does not admit of the presentation of detailed accounts of insects, nor of descriptions of all insect enemies of plants in the West Indies. An attempt at such a presentation would actually have defeated its object, as this is outlined above; whereas on the contrary, a perusal of the work as it stands is sufficient to show that this object has been fully and usefully attained. The arrangement of the subject-matter is such as to make reference easy, and to bring forward the information in such a way that each subject falls into its natural place in the sequence. The large extent to which illustrations have been employed will add greatly to the usefulness of the work, particularly in so far as it is employed by practical agriculturists. Its educational character will doubtless be found of value in connexion with nature teaching and lessons in agriculture in schools; in the hands of the teacher, it will assist in presenting and formulating the information to be given, and will aid in providing and identifying the specimens that are required indispensably for demonstration.
