Mr. Stephan Keler, Forest Entomologist, Lemberg (Lwow) Tarnowskiego 45, 

 Poland, would like to communicate with American entomologists interested in the 

 Coleoptera of Poland. His specialty is the bark beetles (Ipidae) and he would like 

 to obtain specimens from the United States in exchange for Pohsh ones. He has 

 also material in other families of Coleoptera, which he will exchange for American 

 (U. S.) literature of Ipidae, s. str., and of forest entomology, s. lat. 



Enos B. Engle, chief nursery inspector and oldest member both in years and term 

 of service, of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Pennsylvania Department of Ag- 

 ricultiu-e, celebrated his eightieth birthday anniversary recently. He is a veteran 

 of the Civil War, remarkably vigorous in both mind and body and has made a re-

Entomological News records the death on October 25, 1920, at Florence, Itaty, 

 of Dr. Odoardo Beccari, and of Professor Tsunekata Maiyake, of the Agricultural 

 College of the Imperial University of Tokio, Japan, in February 1921. Dr. Bec- 

 cari was director of the Botanical Garden, but from 1865-1876 he explored Indo- 

 Malaysia and Papua and collected many insects; he has published an account of 

 the formicary plants of Malaysia and Papuasia. Professor Maiyake is the author 

 of a general treatise on entomology and of many special papers on the biology of 

 insects, including several economic species. 



Mr. J. A. Hyslop of the Bureau of Entomology has been placed in charge of the 

 new Insect Pest Survey which is being conducted by the Bureau of Entomology 

 in response to resolutions adopted at the Chicago meeting of the American Associa- 

 tion of Economic Entomologists. As the Bureau has no appropriation for this 

 work, the data must be collected largely from the State entomological agencies, 

 and 48 entomologists have accepted their appointment as insect pest reporters for 

 this work. A summary of these reports will be issued each month. The first reg- 

 ular bulletin appeared May 1, and several special bulletins have been issued.
