The Flea

THE aim of this book is to give in plain language some account of a small, but noteworthy, group of insects. I have avoided, whenever I could, using the technical terms of zoology. To avoid doing so entirely is impossible in a book which describes insects in some detail. No technical term has, I hope, been used without an explanation. Over thirty years have elapsed since Taschenbergs German book, Die Flhe, appeared. Our knowledge has made enormous strides since then. More species of flea are now known from the British Islands alone than were then known from the whole world. So far as I am aware, no book, devoted to what is known about fleas, has ever been published in English. The statements about these insects in the general text-books of entomology are frequently antiquated and inaccurate. But there is a fairly extensive literature on the Siphonaptera scattered through scientific periodicals mostly in English, German, Italian, Dutch and Russian. I have given some references in the Bibliography. [vi] The naturalists now living who have devoted any time to the special study of fleas may almost be counted on ones fingers. In England there are Mr Charles Rothschild and Dr Jordan; in the Shetland Islands, the Rev. James Waterston; in Germany, Taschenberg of Halle and Dampf of Knigsberg; in Russia, Wagner of Kieff; in Holland, Oudemans of Arnhem; in Italy, Tiraboschi of Rome; in the United States, Carl Baker and a few others. I have not mentioned medical men who have investigated fleas in connection with plague. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
