The Bulletin. 71 



NOTICE. 



The Division of Entomology is maintained for the purpose of 

 gathering 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 sev- 

 eral days. Never send insects in a letter, and never in a bottle, un- 

 less 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 sepa- 

 rate from package. 



Additions to our collection of 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 

 interest 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, 

 consisting 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. 



On the following page 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).
