"There can be no hesitation in saying that this volume contains the most complete account of the Warble Fly that has ever appeared; with this publication in his possession, the farmer will have himself to blame if he fails to protect himself against a most destructive pest."—Live Stock Journal.

"We should esteem it a personal favour if secretaries of associations would bring the matter before their respective committees, and secure a grant to buy a number of copies for distribution."—Meat Trades Journal.
