360 JOURNAL OP ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 2 



This list constitutes nearly a third of those mentioned by Craw, and 

 does not by any means include all the species that have become resi- 

 dents of the state during this interval. The horticultural officers were 

 particularly on guard against these scales, but they nevertheless found 

 admittance. These facts do not reflect upon the care of our horti- 

 cultural officers because their work has always been most painstaking 

 and earnest, but do seem to indicate the futility of such effort. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTO- 

 MOLOGISTS 



The twenty-first annual meeting of the Air.erican Association of 

 Economic Entomologists will be held in Boston, Mass.. during the 

 last week in December, 1909. A further notice will be sent to all 

 members before the first of November, together with a blank to be 

 filled out by all members desiring to present papers at the meeting. 

 In order that the program can be made up so that it can appear in 

 the next issue of the Journal and in the general program of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is neces- 

 sary that the blank be filled out promptly and returned to the secre- 

 tary. 



Application blanks for membership should be secured from the 

 undersigned at once so that they can be filled out and returned in ad- 

 vance of the meeting. This will greatly facilitate the work of the 

 Membership Committee. 



The meeting at Boston promises to be one of the best held by the 

 association and it is hoped that the entomologists from all sections 

 of the country will make it a point to be present. 



A. F. Burgess, Secretary, 

 Bureau of Entomology, Washington, D. C.
