REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ENTOMOLOGICAL 

 INVESTIGATIONS 



Fellow members of the Association: — 



Your Committee on Entomological Investigations for the year 1912 

 herewith presents its report. 



At the outset this committee desires to thank the entomologists who 

 have cooperated with it for the courtesy and encouragement with which 

 they have aided its work. 



In accordance with the usual custom an information slip was trans- 

 mitted to the active membership of this society and to all other work- 

 ing entomologists in the United States and Canada, except to those 

 who arc connected with authorities that in the past have not seen fit 

 to furnish information. Incidentally some workers now in our active 

 membersh'p list, but employed in other countries, have been reached. 

 The committee felt that the fact that their work and interest have been 

 such as to place them in the active membership is in itself sufficient 

 to render the inclusion of their invest' gations highly desirable.
