90 SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



Microlepidoptera and Neuroptera, have prepared new 

 catalogues of Phasmidae, Mantidae, Gryllidse and Phasgo- 

 nuridse, and have supplied references to publications during 

 the year on Indian Insects as regard's Coleoptera, 

 Rhynchota and Diptera to Messrs. Beeson, Andrews and 

 Senior- White who are respectively responsible for these
