474 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 2 



Mr. S. A. Rohwer, who was Assistant in Zoology and Botany in the Univer- 

 sity of Colorado, has been appointed an Agent and Expert in the Bureau 

 of Entomology, Washington, D. C. 



Mr. Myron H. Swenk, who for several years has been Assistant Entomolo- 

 gist of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, has been appointed 

 Adjunct Professor of Entomology at the University of Nebraska. 



The Division of Insects of the United States National Museum has moved 

 to its new quarters in the new museum building, which is rapidly nearing 

 completion. The rooms assigned are on the top floor of the building and 

 for the first time in many years enough space is available to provide the 

 specialists with comfortable working room and to allow the large and valu- 

 able collections to be readily available for consultation and study as well as 

 to permit of their further growth. The building is fireproof and most of 

 the collections have been transferred to trays that are kept in fireproof 

 steel cases. This insures the safety of type material, which will be greatly 

 appreciated by all working entomologists. 



The Exhibit of Economic Entomology of the Bureau of Entomology, which 

 has been displayed at the Yukon-Alaska Exposition at Seattle, Washington, 

 this summer, has been packed and shipped in two sections. One section has 

 been sent to the United States Land and Irrigation Congress at Chicago 

 and the other to the National Corn Exposition at Omaha, Nebraska. 



Mr. Fred Maskew has resigned from the Bureau of Entomology to become 

 Assistant Superintendent of the California State Insectary at Sacramento, 

 California. 



Mr. E. A. Schwarz and Mr. F. C. Bishopp of the Bureau of Entomology 

 are in Mexico collecting and making investigations of the ticks of that 

 country. 



Mailed December 22, 1909.
