  Altogether 
  popular 
  in 
  form 
  this 
  paper 
  contained 
  much 
  of 
  interest, 
  being 
  

   based 
  on 
  studies 
  of 
  the 
  insect 
  made 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  beautiful 
  drawings 
  

   with 
  which 
  the 
  paper 
  was 
  illustrated. 
  It 
  was 
  prepared 
  for 
  publication 
  in 
  

   the 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  Smithsonian 
  Institution.

  Mr. 
  E. 
  H. 
  Gibson 
  called 
  attention 
  to 
  a 
  posthumous 
  paper 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Otto 
  

   Heideman, 
  which 
  was 
  omitted 
  from 
  the 
  bibliography 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Heidemann 
  

   published 
  in 
  the 
  Proceedings 
  of 
  this 
  Society. 
  This 
  paper, 
  The 
  Rhynchota 
  

   of 
  the 
  Isle 
  of 
  Pines, 
  was 
  published 
  in 
  1917 
  in 
  the 
  Annals 
  of 
  the 
  Carnegie 
  

   Museum 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Wm. 
  Middleton 
  announced 
  the 
  discovery 
  by 
  himself 
  that 
  the 
  males 
  

   of 
  the 
  sayfly 
  genus 
  Xyela 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  Stropandria, 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  gen- 
  

   italia 
  are 
  inverted. 
  In 
  this 
  respect 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  its 
  nearest 
  relatives. 
  

  

  Messrs. 
  H. 
  S. 
  Barber 
  and 
  H. 
  E. 
  Ewing 
  discussed 
  the 
  past 
  histor}^ 
  and 
  re- 
  

   cent 
  finding 
  of 
  insects 
  of 
  the 
  primitive 
  order 
  protura, 
  the 
  latter 
  recounting 
  

   in 
  some 
  detail 
  the 
  characteristics 
  and 
  affinities 
  of 
  the 
  group. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  E. 
  R. 
  Sasscer 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  condition 
  of 
  French 
  fruit 
  and 
  rose 
  stocks 
  

   which 
  have 
  arrived 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  since 
  January 
  1, 
  1921. 
  He 
  stated 
  

   that 
  in 
  that 
  period 
  eighty-five 
  nests 
  of 
  the 
  Brown-Tail 
  Moth 
  had 
  been 
  taken 
  

   in 
  thirty-two 
  shipments, 
  in 
  contrast 
  with 
  sixty-three 
  infested 
  French 
  ship- 
  

   ments 
  which 
  have 
  arrived 
  in 
  this 
  country 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  nine 
  years. 
  The 
  

   finding 
  of 
  so 
  many 
  nests 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  brief 
  period 
  indicates 
  that 
  the 
  French 
  in- 
  

   spection 
  service 
  is 
  much 
  below 
  the 
  standard 
  of 
  previous 
  years, 
  and 
  to 
  meet 
  

   this 
  situation, 
  all 
  French 
  shipments 
  of 
  rose 
  and 
  fruit 
  stocks 
  are 
  now 
  being 
  

   fumigated 
  at 
  the 
  port 
  of 
  entry 
  under 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  

   Agriculture, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  inspected 
  at 
  destination 
  by 
  state 
  inspectors. 
  He 
  fur- 
  

   ther 
  stated 
  that 
  a 
  warning 
  had 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  French 
  nurserymen 
  and 
  French 
  

   inspection 
  service 
  to 
  the 
  effect 
  that 
  if 
  shipments 
  continue 
  to 
  arrive 
  infested 
  

   with 
  nests 
  of 
  this 
  injurious 
  insect, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  necessary 
  to 
  cancel 
  all 
  exist- 
  

   ing 
  permits 
  to 
  import 
  French 
  stocks. 
  

  

  Interceptions 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  state 
  inspectors 
  of 
  Connecticut 
  

   New 
  York, 
  Indiana, 
  Iowa, 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  North 
  CaroHna, 
  Pennsylvania,
