44 The Bulletin. 



NOTICE. 



The Division of Entomology is maintained for the purpose of gather- 

 ing and spreading information concerning insects, their lives, habits, 

 and remedies for those that are injurious. Every person in the State 

 is invited to correspond with us at any time that any matter in this line 

 arouses interest or apprehension. When practicable, specimens should 

 accompany inquiries. They may be sent in tight tin, wooden, or strong 

 pasteboard box, with enough food to last several days. Never send in- 

 sects in a letter, and never in a bottle, unless preserved in alcohol. Twigs 

 which are suspected of being infested with San Jose Scale may be sent 

 in package neatly wrapped. Four to six twigs about six inches long, 

 from one and two-year growth, is usually sufficient. 



All packages should be neat, and should have the name and address of 

 the sender plainly marked on the outside. Letter should be separate 

 from package. 



Additions to our collection <.f insects are earnestly desired. Special 

 instructions for those who are interested in collecting, mounting and 

 preserving insects will be sent on request. We wish to stimulate an in- 

 terest in this study among our younger people. 



In furtherance of our work, bulletins and circulars are issued from 

 time to time. The regular monthly Bulletins, of which this is a copy, 

 are sent out to the entire general mailing list of the department, consist- 

 ing of about 35,000 names. The circulars are sent out to those known 

 to be especially interested in the subjects they discuss and to special 

 lists, but not to the general list. Each circular is devoted to some one 

 subject, and consists of only from six to fifteen pages. 



The following is a list of our publications, any of which will be sent 

 on request, so far as our supply will allow (those marked * are not 

 available) :
