While not sufficiently destructive outside of the large citrus 

 growing districts to warrant the expense of fumigation, the 

 White Fly may, nevertheless, work havoc elsewhere, since, be- 

 side the citrus trees, it feeds upon the Texas umbrella tree, the 

 Pride of India, the mock orange, the cape jessamine, the privets, 

 the lilac, the pear, the Japan persimmon, wild persimmon, and 

 even other trees. Since several of these trees, as well as the 

 orange, are common in Charleston, it is desirable that the work 

 of the fly be watched and record made of all trees upon which 

 larvae are found. The Museum will be glad to receive reports of 

 this pest, especially when accompanied by specimens. 



Literature relating to the White Fly may be consulted at the 

 Museum librarv.

 eum will be open to visitors from 10 a. m. till 6 p. m. daily ex-

Miss Laura M. Bragg became librarian of the Museum on 

 September first, succeeding Miss Elizabeth ^^an Hoevenberg, 

 who resigned in July because of ill health. Miss Bragg is a 

 graduate of Simmons College, and has had experience in com- 

 bined library and museum work at Orr's Island, Me. She will 

 have charge of a large part of the educational activity of the 

 Museum in addition to the care of the library. The appearance 

 of the book stacks has been greatly improved by the binding 

 of many periodicals in strong pam]3hlet binders.

 summer is a curious fish {Antennaiius ocellatusY presented by 

 Dr. G. W. Aimar, who received it from a fisherman early in
