DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Handbook of the Destructive Insects of Victoria: With Notes on the Methods to Prevention and Extirpation In publishing Part V., the last but one of the Destructive Insects of Victoria, I may remark that some comparatively new insect pests have been included, especially the more formidable of those attacking orchards, crops, and forests. As in Part IV., it will be noticed that some prominence has been given to insects attacking our forests. In America, India, and Germany, where forestry has been raised to a "fine art," and a huge commercial success, whole volumes dealing with forest pests have been published, and no expense spared in enlightening foresters and others similarly engaged. The Commonwealth of Australia is singularly rich in valuable timbers, the utilization of which is creating a great commercial industry. It is therefore advantageous that all possible information regarding forest insects should be widely disseminated. As I have endeavoured to avoid technical names and terms as much as possible, it has been necessary to invent common names for many of the insects described. Fortunately, but very few additional orchard pests have to be recorded since the publication of Part IV., but, as we do not know the time when more of the native insects may leave their natural food to attack orchards, it follows that the distribution of practical and reliable information regarding them is a matter of urgent necessity. Some additional insect-destroying birds are also dealt with in the present volume. As these birds are absolutely indispensable to the welfare of the orchardist, farmer, and forester, it is to be hoped that, with the aid of the coloured plates, they may be readily distinguished from the fruit and grain-eating kinds.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
