This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Diplomat entomologist scientist
Carl Robert Osten-sacken was born on August 21, 1828, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia.
Carl Osten-Sacken was educated in St. Petersburg.
Carl Osten-Sacken entered the diplomatic service in 1849. In 1856, when twenty-eight years old, he was appointed secretary to the Russian legation at Washington. Six years later he was made consul general of Russia in New York City, resigning in 1871. After several journeys to Europe he was in the United States unofficially from 1873 to 1877.
Carl became interested in entomology at the age of eleven while on a visit to Baden Baden. Before leaving Russia he had written three entomological papers. During his American sojourn he was principally engaged, partly in collaboration with Dr. Hermann Loew of Vienna, in an investigation of the Diptera of America north of the Isthmus of Panama. He published, first, in 1858, through the Smithsonian Institution, a Catalogue of the Described Diptera of North America. This was followed by a series of papers, very largely descriptive, and four volumes under the general title Monographs of the Diptera of North America (1862 - 73) by Loew and himself, also published by the Smithsonian Institution. Subsequently, after visiting the principal type collections of Europe, he prepared a second catalogue, of a critical character (Smithsonian Institution, 1878), which, according to an eminent authority, "for clearness, completeness and absolute mastery of the subject, must forever remain an unapproachable model for later workers. " The Loew and Osten-Sacken type collection was eventually placed in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, Massachussets.
In 1877, Osten-Sacken went to Heidelberg, where he remained for the rest of his life. He continued to work, carried on a correspondence with entomologists in different parts of the world, and published many papers, mainly rather brief but all of importance. He spoke and wrote many languages, but preferred English, which he used with great clearness and force. In his closing years he jokingly referred to himself as "the grandfather of American Dipterology, " a title that he really deserved. Before he died he published at his own expense Record of My Life Work in Entomology (1903), which contains his portrait and a critical bibliography of 179 titles in addition to a deal of interesting notes and correspondence.
Carl Osten-Sacken served as the Russian consul general in New York City (1856-1877). Osten-Sacken's major entomologic works: Catalogue of the Described Diptera of North America (1858); Monographs of the Diptera of North America (1862 - 73); Record of My Life Work in Entomology (1903). A subspecies of North American snake, Thamnophis sauritus sackeni, was named in his honour by Robert Kennicott in 1859.
