In the foregoing pages descriptions and figures are given of the 

 injurious insects that are commonly found upon fruit-trees. If the reader 

 should meet with others regarding which he desires information, he is 

 requested to send snecimens to the Department of Entomologv, Ontario 

 Agricultural Colleee, Guelph, and to mention any particulars that he 

 may have observed. Immediate attention will be given to the enquiry 

 and the specimens will be reported upon with any information or advice 

 that can be offered. Living specimens should be enclosed in a small tin 

 or wooden box, with some of the plant upon which they were found ; it 

 is not necessarv to make any holes for the admission of air. Dried and 

 fragile specimens should also be sent in strong cardboard or wooden 

 boxes to prevent their being crushed in the mail. If the packet is marked 

 " Entomological Specimens," the postage is one cent for two ounces. 



A Bulletin upon the Insects affecting Small Fruits will shortly be 

 prepared for publication.
