Excerpt from Laboratory Guide in Entomology: For Use as an Introduction to the Study of Entomology, and as Introductory to a Course in General Zoology
The jointed beak of the Rhynchota has little in common with the so called sucking mouth-parts of other orders, when examined from a phylogenetic standpoint, and will undoubtedly generally become recognized as forming a separate series as here proposed, and as the results of several recent investigations on the group would seem to point out. The interpretation of the so called lacinia has too long been a stumbling block to the correct understanding of the mouth-parts of insects in correlation with those of other Arthropoda; the present interpretation will obviate this.

Excerpt from Laboratory Guide in Entomology: For Use as an Introduction to the Study of Entomology, and as Introductory to a Course in General Zoology
This brief Laboratory Guide to the study of insects has been prepared for use in the writers own classes as an introduction to a more advanced course in entomology, and also for use as introductory to a general course in zoology. Its presentation to the public is with the hope that teachers of natural history, especially those of our own State, may in it find something to commend itself to them; and that much of this work which at present must be done by the University, may in the near future be doije, in part at least, by our preparatory schools. The importance of the study of zoology in High Schools, Academies, and Colleges is gradually being recognized; but in too many cases it still stands back in comparison with other branches of natural history, as that of botany. One of several reasons for this is no doubt to be found in the difficulty of the subject as usually taught. The study of zoology from the biological or laboratory standpoint, the only standpoint from which the subject can be studied as too often understood by our teachers, requires apparatus and skill that few possess. The study of protoplasm, the cell, and protozoans, though this may be the logical starting point for the study of zoology, nevertheless presents so many difficulties that it may well be questioned if it be advisable to confound the beginner with them, and more often probably fostering a dislike than a love for the subject. To begin, on the other hand, with one of the higher types, as a vertebrate, also presents a number of objectionable points which, unless in the hands of a most competent teacher, will not give the desired results in a large and mixed class of young minds.
Insects no doubt present the most favorable group that can be chosen for beginning the study of general zoology. Few of the objections i beginning with the protozoans or in dissecting the frog, or some other vertebrate will be found here.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating guide to the fascinating world of insects, revealing their remarkable anatomy and the intricate systems that govern their lives. From the first chapter, the author immerses you in the unique characteristics of these creatures, exploring their distinctive segmented bodies, jointed appendages, and the three distinct stages of their life cycle: egg, larva, and adult. As you progress through the chapters, you'll journey into the intricate realm of insect metamorphosis, where you'll witness the transformation of larva to pupa and, finally, to the fully developed adult form. The author masterfully navigates the complexities of insect anatomy, shedding light on their muscular system, alimentary system, respiratory system, circulatory system, excretory system, and nervous system. With each topic, you'll uncover the remarkable adaptations that enable insects to thrive in diverse habitats and perform extraordinary feats. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of entomology and the wonders of the insect world. Through its comprehensive exploration of insect biology, this book provides an accessible and captivating gateway into the world's most diverse and successful group of animals.
