22 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 84 



It is interesting to note that in Professor Cook's Bulletin No. 76 of 

 the Michigan Station, he stated that he found that Henry Bird ' of 

 Newark, New Jersey, as early as 1875 advised mixing a little kero- 

 sene oil with strong soapsuds. Mr. Bird apparently made the first 

 kerosene-soap emulsion. 



Professor Cook died in office September 29, 1916. 



Andrew S. Fuller was a well known horticulturist who naturally 

 became interested in economic entomology and published his first 

 papers on this subject in 1868. He wrote altogether 22 papers relat- 

 ing to this subject, probably the most important one being his account 

 of "The Insect Enemies and Diseases of our Small Fruits" pub- 

 lished in the March, April, and May numbers of the third volume of 

 the American Entomologist in 1880. Mr. Fuller was a prolific horti- 

 cultural writer, and at different times was editorially connected with 

 the Rural New Yorker, the New York Tribune, The Agriculturist, 

 and American Gardening. His book, " Small Fruit Culturist," was 

 one of much importance and was translated into German for publica- 

 tion in Weimar. At one time he was part owner of the Rural New 

 Yorker. He was a man of broad interest in natural science, and. 

 among other large collections, he built up a collection of Coleoptera. 

 Aramigiis fulleri, popularly know as Fuller's rose beetle, was named 

 after him by Doctor Horn. 



In the same year were published the first contributions to economic 

 entomology by Hermann Hagen and Samuel Lockwood. Doctor 

 Hagen will be written about in a sul)sequent section. Rev. Samuel 

 Lockwood was one of the very few ministers of the Gospel who have 

 written about injurious insects. His first contribution was on " The 

 Goldsmith luetic and Its Habits " (American Naturalist, June. 

 1868). He published in all six paj^rs, all in the American Natural- 

 list with the exception of an "Account of the Invasion of 1880 in 

 New Jersey," relating to grasshoppers, which appeared in the Annual 

 Report of the United States Department of Agriculture for 1882. 



Mrs. Mary Treat, who began to write in 1869, was a person who 

 was very fond of the study of entomolog}', and early began to write 

 in the American Entomologist. Her principal work was not pub- 

 lished, however, until 1882, when she issued a book entitled " Injm-i- 

 ous Insects of the Fami and Garden " which covered 288 pages, with 

 163 figures. It is an attractive little volume, very largely compiled 

 from Riley's reports and that of Comstock for 1879, but making a 



'No relation of Henry Bird of Rye, New York, now (1928) President of the 

 New York Entomological Society.
