DEDICATION.

TO SAMUEL H. SCUDDER.

My Dear Scudder:—You and I were drawn together many years ago by a common love for insects and their ways.

I dedicate this little volume of ephemeral essays to you in recognition of your worth as a man and a scientist, and as a token of warm friendship.

Yours sincerely,

A. S. Packard, Jr.
