3/8 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL.84 



is the type of man who will make his mark wherever he goes, and has 

 already done very admirable work. 



Gold Coast. — At present, W. H. Patterson holds the post of Ento- 

 mologist. He has been there since 191 6 and has published especially 

 on insects injurious to coconut, cacao, and Citrus fruits. G. S. Cot- 

 terel is Assistant Entomologist. A. W. J. Pomeroy is Medical Ento- 

 mologist, and K. R. S. Morris is Assistant Medical Entomologist. 

 In 1914 Mr. Pomeroy was Government Entomologist in Nigeria, and 

 went to the Gold Coast in 1925. Before going to Africa he lived 

 in the United States and was for a time connected with the United 

 States Bureau of Entomology. I am not sure whether at that time he 

 was a citizen of the United States or not. Some excellent publications 

 have come from the Gold Coast, and 30 have been reviewed in the 

 Review of Applied Entomology. 



Sierra Leone. — Mr. Ernest Hargreaves holds the position of Ento- 

 mologist. INIr. Hargreaves was one of the Carnegie Students to the 

 United States before the World War and has been in the colonial 

 service since. 



Zanzibar. — The Zanzibar Protectorate, off the coast of Tanganyika, 

 although small, has a good economic entomologist in the person of 

 Dr. W. Mansfield-Aders. The Protectorate published its medical and 

 public health reports beginning with 191 5, and since the war Dr. W. 

 Mansfield-Aders has written some very good papers on insects injuri- 

 ous to economic crops. The economic products are cloves and coco- 

 nuts ; and the insect enemies to cotton, cereals, vegetables, fruits, and 

 so on are considered. The clove tree is said to have no specific ene- 

 mies, although termites attack unhealthy trees. 



Gambia. — There is no official entomologist at present. 



Somaliland. — There is no official entomologist at present. 



Sudan. — There is a first-class staff of entomologists in this colony. 

 H. H. King is Government Entomologist at Khartum, with H. W. 

 Bedford as Assistant. J. W. Cowland is at the field station in the 

 Berber Province; W. Ruttledge at the field station in the Nuba 

 Mountains Province ; and H. B. Johnston is at the Gezira Research 

 Farm, with Wad Medani, F. G. S. Whitfield, W. P. L. Cameron, and 

 R. C. Darling. 



Mauritius. — This large, rich British island colony in the Indian 

 Ocean east of the African continent is very interesting entomologi- 

 cally and is an especially rich sugar country. Its crops have suffered 

 from insects, and for many years D. d'Emmcrez de Charmoy has been 

 interested in applied entomology. He is a well known entomologist
