SPECIMENS RECEIVED. 



The number of specimens sent by the public to this office has been very 

 remarkable. In fact, no state or government ever had such support of con- 

 tributors and observers. Our collections now number eleven thousand, many 

 of which stand for scores of different species. In Volume V of our Monthly 

 Bulletin we found it necessary to devote forty-one pages to the acknowledg- 

 ment of the receipt of specimens of insects, reptiles, birds, mammals, and 

 other specimens of which the public wished to make inquiry or which we 

 desired in our studies. Our specimens have been carefully preserved and 

 stored in such a ma.nner that they can be found immediately for reference or 

 for study. They have been the basis of our more extensive investigations and 

 are ready for further examination by students at any time. 



INVESTIGATIONS AND EXPERIMENTATION. 



We have continued investigations along the line of Economic Entomology, 

 trying different remedies for San Jos6 Scale, and other pests, at different times 

 of the year, and have tested many kinds of commercial insecticides and 

 various home-made preparations, for the suppression of different kinds of in^ 

 jurious insects, as well as for San Jose Scale especially.
