•6 SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



Besides the regular students, Mr. S. N. Bal, Assistant 

 Professor of Botany, Science College, Calcutta University, 

 spent about a fortnight in the Mycological Laboratory in 

 March and April as he proposes to take up mycological 

 work in Calcutta. 



III. Publications. 



Six Memoirs, 13 Bulletins (including three reprints 

 and one vernacular version), and three Indigo Publications 

 were issued during the year, while ten publications were 

 in the press at the close of the year. 



The demand for the Bulletin on " Insecticides, Mixtures 

 and Recipes for use against Insects in the Field, the 

 Orchard, the Garden and the House " continued, with the 

 result that it had to be printed a third time during the 

 year. A Bengali version of Bulletin No. 46 on Bee- 

 keeping, written in language simple enough to be under- 

 stood by the village folk when read by themselves or read 

 out to them, was issued during the year and the whole 

 edition rapidly sold out. 



The Agricultural Journal of India in its new form 

 continues to gain in popularity, and it became necessary 

 during the year to increase the print order by 250 copies. 

 It is proposed to issue the Journal bi-monthly, instead of 

 quarterly, with the commencement of the New Year. All 

 the present features will be maintained, but no increase 

 will be made in the annual subscription. 



IV. General Administration. 



Buildings and works. The bungalow for the Electri- 

 cal Engineer referred to in last year's report was completed 

 during the year. The construction of quarters for the 

 First Assistant to the Imperial Mycologist as well as for 

 the staff of the Pusa High English School will be begun as 

 soon as the necessary materials are available. Necessary 

 funds have also been allotted for the construction of a 

 building for the Post Office and a rest house for Indian 

 visitors. A pumping set has been installed on the river
