 ment. 



Publications. — In addition to the Agricultural Journal 

 of India, the Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture 

 in India, Bulletins and Leaflets, two publications of 

 importance have issued from the Institute during the past 

 year, namely, Indian Insect Life by Mr. Maxwell-Lefroy 

 assisted by Mr. F. M. Hewlett and Wheat in India by Mr. 

 and Mrs. Howard. Indian Insect Life contaiiijing 786 

 pages of printed matter and 619 illustrations has been well 

 received both in India and abroad and is without doubt the 

 most advanced and comprehensive manual of Indian insects 

 yet published. Wheat in India containing 288 pages and 

 18 illustrations, deals in a complete manner with the pro- 

 duction, varieties and improvement of Indian wheat. In 

 order to be useful to all interested in the various aspects of 

 wheat production, the scope of the book has been made as 

 wide as possible.
