Excerpt from Leaf-Mining Insects Something should be said in explanation of the part that has been taken by each of the authors in the preparation of this book. It was begun under my direction by Miss Hughes, now Mrs. John D. Tothill, when she was a graduate student in my laboratory at Cornell University. It was continued by her subsequently in Illinois, Wisconsin, British Columbia, and especially at Frederickton, New Brunswick. Meanwhile, Dr. Frost had begun the study of leaf-miners at Cornell University under the direction of Dr. R.

Matheson. When Mrs. Tothill was preparing to go with her husband on an important scientific mission to the Fiji Islands (where she has been during the final putting together of this book) she appealed to me to find some means of completing it. I, naturally, turned to Dr. Frost, and we agreed to complete it together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
