"Insects are of the greatest use to man as flower pollinators,'" says Professor F. Balfour-Browne in his book on insects. "The plants provide pollen and liectar as food and drink for the insects and in return, the insects carry out the pollination, and thus the visits to flowers are of advantage to both parties. "
"Onie might almost imagine that both parties were actually conscious of this, be- cause flowers have undoubtedly become adapted to insects, and insects have become modified in connection with their visits to flowers."
The author of "FLOWERS AND INSECTS" has made a special study extending over many years of insect visits to flowers.
Beginning September, 1887, and ending July, 1899, 7,817 visits to 278 insect flowers were recorded by him. In the present work, these visits are summarized, revised and increased until there are 15,172 visits of 1,288 insects and one hum- ming bird to 441 insect flowers. There are 14 visits -to wind flowers and 146 visits to extra-floral nectaries. The 15,172 visits to insect flowers given here are to be compared with 5,231 in Mueller's "Fertilization" and 8,491 in his "Alpenblumen. " Mention is made of the types of 232 species of insects and the flowers on which they were taken. The time of blooming of the flowers, the time when the observations were made, the flower class and the color are recorded.

Z EISS Prism Binoculars, in addition to their bril-
liant luminosity and large field of vilew., are dust- and mois- ture-proof, a factor which can hardly be over-emphasized. With supplementary lens at- tachments they are instantly convertible into Telescopic Magnifiers, having a working distance of about 8 inches.
Zeiss Ikon Cameras, fitted with Zeiss Tessar Lenses, take ex- cellent pictures, even under * conditions, where other cam- W eras fail. Zeiss Tessar Lenses and Compur Shutters are standard equipment on all, ex- cept the Junior Cameras. All models, having double bellows extension, may be used with the Zeiss Proxar and Distar supplementary Lenses.
