Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia and New York, besides 

 several within the State of Pennsylvania. This was done with care, 

 and there can be no reasonable question of the success of the experi- 

 ment. It is certainly the scientific manner of fighting the San Jos6 

 scale, and it is the most important piece of practical entomological 

 work that has been reported as having been done in America, or in 

 the whole world during the past year. A paper on this subject was 

 read by the Economic Zoologist before the American Association of 

 Economic Entomologists, meeting with the American Association 

 for the Advancement of Science, at Philadelphia, in December, 1914. 

 It will be published in the future issue of the Bi-Monthly Bulletin 

 of the Bureau of Zoology. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. A. SURFACE, 



State Zoologist.
