• W614935189 abstract "IN a prefatory note to this volume the United States Geologist, F. V. Hayden, tells us that Prof. Thomas's work on the Acrididæ of North America is published “in the belief that it is a substantial contribution to natural history;” and certainly it is impossible, on a perusal of the work, not to share in this belief; it is, moreover, another proof of the great boon conferred upon natural science by public surveys and Government expeditions. Serious and extended works on natural history (except, perhaps, those relating to some few very popular branches of it) would seldom be produced, or in many cases their materials be collected, if it were not for the assistance of natural history societies, public surveys, and expeditions; organisations of these kinds can afford to disregard the commercial aspect of the question, and are able to bestow upon the public, works which private enterprise would seldom venture upon. Among insects, the Orthoptera (of which order the Acrididæ are a well-defined family group) are certainly not the most popular among entomologists, though, for many reasons, of great interest to others. Few persons but have some cherished association with, for instance, the persistent chirp of the cricket on the hearth, or the shrill stridulations of some of the grasshoppers; there are, again, few more wonderful sights in the insect world than a flight of locusts; and few natural scourges are more terrible than. those inflicted by the devastations of these rapacious creatures; the walking-leaf and stick insects (Mantidæ and Phasmidæ) are also very popular objects for sightseers in natural history museums. The lack of general popularity among collectors and students arises probably in great measure from the Orthoptera being commonly less sightly as cabinet objects than some other orders of the Insecta, though perhaps it arises as much or more from the paucity of works combining both a general and special treatment of the whole, or of well-defined groups, of the order under consideration. Dr. Thomas's work is undoubtedly calculated to encourage the study of the large group included under the Acrididæ, and to be peculiarly acceptable to American entomologists, for it not only describes a large number of North American species (both known species as well as new ones), but it gives, in an “Introduction,” pp. 9-45, a concise view of the general classification of the Orthoptera, with the relation of the AcrididAcrididæ to the other sub-ordinal groups, their structure, internal and external, and the distribution of genera and species over North America. This introductory part of the work is illustrated by two remarkably clear and good woodcuts, showing all the different portions of external structure, with the name of each part." @default.
