Extract

At every turn, since beginning my studies in the aquatic Hemiptera some four years ago, my attempts to verify some observation have been balked by the extreme meagreness of the information on the subject running all through the field of entomological literature. This lack is far more noticeable with reard to the immature stages of the Cryptocerata and of the aquatic and semi-aquatic forms of the Gymnocerata.
