of growing better races of mulberry silk for supply to the 

 Bengal filatures willr be further tested and the general 

 question of improving the silk industry investigated. 



Puhlications. — The edition of Indian Insect Pests is 

 exhausted and the progress for the last four years makes 

 a new edition necessary. A revision up to June 1909, has 

 been translated into Bengali by the second assistant, Mr. 

 C. C. Ghosh, and published in Calcutta. Applications for 

 permission to publish other translations have been referred 

 to the respective Provincial Departments as a revision of 

 the text is required and the staff at Pusa cannot translate 

 into all vernaculars. " Indian Insect Life " has been issued 

 and is nov^ available for all students and workers in 

 Entomology. A list of other publications is attached. 

 This is smaller than it might be, but the time has not been 

 available for preparing more and the issue of these has 

 entailed much work that should not fall on the staff of this 

 section.
