Excerpt from Forest Insects of Australia
AS a worker in the field of Entomology, Mr. Walter W. Froggatt needs no introduction and his compilation of this little volume on the Forest Insects of Australia is not the least valuable of his contributions to Science during the past thirty years. Ithis work will be found a fund of information regarding white ants, timber borers, and forest insect pests, which is of both practical and scientific value, and embodying, as it does, the results of many years' careful investigation, it may be accepted as a text and reference book of value by those interested in Forestry, Architecture, or industries in' which wood as a material is employed.
The extent of injury done to timber by insect pests is hardly realised, and if the economic loss could be estimated, it would arouse the public mind from its apathy in regard to both the introduction of borer and other pests from abroad, and to the urgent need for protective and remedial measures. The matter is one which demands the serious attention of our legislators, and, in writing this introduction, it is in the hope that this publication may serve to throw light upon it, and to materially assist in its better consideration.
