by placing sand .soaked in kerosene around the seed when planted; Eudamns proteus, 

 which is apparently injurious only in Florida and a few other Southern States and may 

 be controlled by spraying with Paris green; Semasia liigricana, the injuries of which 

 may be partly controlled l)y planting very early and late varieties of peas, by clean 

 culture, and early fall plowing. Ogdoconta cinereola, which injures the foliage and 

 pods of beans, is distributed generally east of the Rocky Mountains, has no parasitic 

 or predaceous enemies, and may be best controlled by spraying with arsenate of lead;

A discussion of the San Jose scale problem (pp. 3-12) was had, in connection with 

 an address by J. Fletcher on the San Jose scale in Ohio and Ontario. The 3 reme- 

 dies which w-ere considered practicable and effective were crude petroleum, whale-oil 

 soap, and hydrocyanic-acid gas. 



The importance of entomological studies to the community at large was discussed 

 by T. W. Fyles (pp. 13-21). In this paper the extent of damages from injurious 

 insects is briefly mentioned and notes are given on the economic importance of a 

 general knowledge of the habits of insects. 



Brief notes are given on the insects of the year by C. H. Young, J. D. Evans, and 

 J. Johnston (pp. 24-28).. This discussion embraces short notes on white cabbage 

 butterfly, birch bucculatrix, cankerworms, Hessian fly, potato beetle, and aspara- 

 gus beetle. The injurious in.sects of the season of 1901 are reported upon by VV.

 ling moth, potato-stalk borer, asparagus beetle, blister beetle, currant aphis, cherry 

 aphis, snowy tree cricket, raspberry cane maggot, rose chafer and oak pruner. 

 Notes on the season of 1901 are given by J. A. Moffat (pp. 50-53), including a brief
