Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, 1902 This work served a most excellent purpose by bringing together in one volume the principal records of observations of forest insects by American entomologists, and has doubtless stimulated others, as it did the present writer, to an active interest in the subject of insect enemies of trees. But it would seem that there is at present a special. Need of an introduction or guide to the study of forest entomology for the special use of students in forest schools and others who desire general nontechnical information on the subject. It is, therefore, my object in this address, like the pioneer making a preliminary survey in a new country, to consider the general features of the subject and leave the details to be treated in succeed ing contributions as the evolution of the forestry movement in this country indicates the need.
