by the tick, Dermacentor venustus. Investigations conducted by the Bureau of Ento- 

 mology in cooperation with the Montana Agricultural College have shown that a 

 comparatively' simple and inexpensive plan of eradication of the tick may be put into 

 operation. Cooperation has been arranged with the Montana State Board of Ento- 

 mology which, under recent action of the legislature, has full authority to prescribe 

 quarantine and other regulations that may be necessary for the work. 



Federal Horticultural Board. Quarantine notice Xo. 7 forbids the importation 

 from Europe of all five-leaved pines {Pinus albicaidis, aristata, ayacahuite, balfouriana, 

 honapartea, cembra, excelsa, flexilis, koraiensis, lambertiana, niandschurica, monticola, 

 pari'iflora, pentaphyUa, pence, pygmaea, strobiformis, slrobi$s) and their horticultural 

 varieties. 



The recently issued circular 44 of the office of the secretary of agriculture replaces 

 circular 41, amplifies the classification of plants hitherto given on the permit, changes 

 regulation 3 to correspond with the new form of permit (one permit authorizing 

 importation for the season); regulation 5 is modified to include plant quarantine 

 decision No. 2; regulation 7 is altered by the addition of the term "exporter"; the 

 part of regulation 6 becoming of non effect after July 1 next is omitted and provision 

 made for treatment of infested nursery stock from countries without an official in- 

 spection system; regulations 9 and 11 are omitted — these changes all being in the 

 nature of corrections of errors (see circular of information Xo. 4). Circular of infor- 

 mation No. 3 deals with foreign inspection and certification requirements. 



NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON ENTOMOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE 



The Second International Congress of Entomology at Oxford during 1912 unani- 

 mously passed certain resolutions, creating and directing an International Committee 

 on Nomenclature. Among the duties of t-liis committee are: 



1. To enter into communication with the entomological societies of the world with 

 the view of forming national committees on entomological nomenclature. 



2. To collect, in cooperation with the national committees, the opinions of ento- 

 mologists on questions of nomenclature as affecting entomology. 



3. To consider what elucidations, extensions, or amendments, if any, are required 

 in the International Code. 



4. To confer with the International Commission on zoological Nomenclature, and 



5. To lay a report before the next Congress of Entomology (in 1915j. 



It will be noted that this committee is directed to enter into communication with 

 the various entomological societies in order to form national committees on nomencla- 

 ture. Dr. Karl Jordan, secretary of the International Committee, has performed this 

 service for the European societies, and at his request Mr. Xathan Banks has under- 

 taken similar work for the American societies. Mr. Banks now desires the appoint- 

 ment of two members from the Association of Economic Entomologists to serve on 

 the American National Committee, and I have therefore asked Professor Herbert 

 Osborn, of the University of Ohio, and Dr. A. D. MacGillivray of the University of 

 Illinois to act in this capacity, which they have kindly consented to do.
