Abstract
If some of us still cherish the philosophy that a struggle for existence does act as a developmental factor, perhaps we shall be pardoned for believing that the early struggles of Professor John Henry Comstock for an education did develop in him some of those fit qualities that later contributed to his scientific achievements. Notwithstanding, something of his character must certainly be attributed to his parental inheritance. His mother, Susan Allen, was reputed to be of the family of Ethan Allen. Evidently it was she who transmitted to her son the determination and tenacity of purpose which characterized his labors on the problems he undertook to solve.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of the Entomological Society of America exists to stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue across the entomological disciplines and to advance cooperative interaction among diverse groups of entomologists. It seeks to attract and publish cutting-edge research, reviews, collections of articles on a common topic of broad interest, and discussion of topics with national or international importance. We especially welcome articles covering developing areas of research, controversial issues or debate, and topics of importance to society. Manuscripts that are primarily reports of new species, methodology, pest management, or the biology of single species generally will be referred to other journals of the ESA. The most important criteria for acceptance are quality of work and breadth of interest to the readership.
