Excerpt from A Monograph, Vol. 3: Of the British Phytophagous HymenopteraIN this volume I have described the remaining three families of the Tenthredinidae, the Cephidae, Siricidae, Oryssidae, and the parasitic Cynipidae. The fourth (and concluding) volume will deal with the inquiline and gall-making Cynipidae, and will also contain such additions and corrections as increased knowledge may have brought to light during the period the book has been in course of publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
