Book excerpt: Excerpt from Microlepidoptera and Their Parasites Reared From Field Collections in the Northeastern United States Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many individuals who have contributed to these studies. So many have cooperated over the years in collecting, rearing, and identifying the various species that complete acknowledgment of all contributors is impossible. However, particular credit should be given to the following: the late A. F. Burgess, who organized and encouraged this project; the late C. W. Collins, who was in charge of the former Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine laboratory at Melrose Highlands, Mass., and under whose general direction much of the work was performed; R. C. Brown, now chief of the Division of Forest Insect Research, Northeastern Forest Experiment Station, for his interest and encouragement in the preparation of this publication; Charles L. Griswold, for his keen interest and assistance in the collecting and rearing work for several years at Melrose Highlands, and especially for preparation of many fine specimens for the museum collection; M. T. Smulyan, who assisted at Melrose Highlands for 1 year and conducted the rearing work in New Jersey for 2 years; the late R. T. Webber, who did some of the early rearing work and who was responsible for identification of most of the Diptera; P. B. Dowden for identification of much of the hymenopterous parasitic material; and W. F. Sellers for determination of some of the dipterous parasites. Special acknowledgment is made to C. F. W. Muesebeck, former chief (retired) of the Division of Insect Identification, Agricultural Research Service; and to members of his staff for determination or verification of most species reared. The staff described and named most new species of parasitic Hymenoptera reared in the course of these studies.
