In 1946 Dr. Drake was relieved of all these responsibilities and 

 concentrated on the taxonomy of Hemiptera. The title of Honorary 

 Research Associate of the U.S. National Museum was bestowed 

 upon him in 1957, and he was then able to devote his time entirely 

 to research. A bachelor whose life centered around his work, 

 he spent twelve hours a day at the museum, six and a half days 

 a week, (How disappointed he was to learn the museum was closed 

 on Christmas day.') 



Most of his efforts were directed toward the description of 

 new genera and species. He enjoyed having these illustrated by 

 talented scientific artists. The morphological study of the family 

 Tingidae (Drake and Davis, 1960) and the catalog of the Tingidae 

 (Drake and Ruhoff, 1965) are a memorial and tribute to Carl J. 

 Drake, who was the author of the overwhelming majority of tingid 

 taxa. 



This paper consists of Carl J. Drake's complete bibliography 

 and an index to new names introduced by him. Many of his 519 

 papers, which were written while he was state entomologist, 

 concern the agricultural and economic problems of insect pests. 

 These papers are not indexed herein since no new names were 

 introduced in them. 



Two comprehensive obituaries of Dr. Drake have been published:
