174 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 15 



N. J. Kuznetzov, specialist in Lepidoptera; other Entomologists 

 are also engaged at the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Science. 



All these scientists may be addressed: c/o Zoological Museum, Acad- 

 emy of Science, Petrograd, Russia, Via England. 



Although completely segregated from the entire scientific world during 

 the last years, they are, nevertheless, continuing the work in these 

 special lines insofar as the conditions of Hfe permit to do so. There 

 were no complaints in the letters received so far as to the hardships and 

 deprivations, but there are constant requests to send separates, journals 

 and books, which they are imable to secure under the present circum- 

 stances and a desire to learn whatever new has been discovered and pub- 

 lished in the recent years by the men of science abroad. 



Entomological Organizations 



Among the new Entomological organizations opened in Russia, the 

 following may be mentioned: 



The old Bureau of Entomology of the Agricultural Scientific Commit- 

 tee of the Department of Agriculture, formerly in charge of the late 

 J. A. Porchinsky, has been preserved and Dr. V. A. Pospielov is at the 

 head of it now. 



Several other Entomological Institutes were opened. 



The first joint Congress of Entomologists and Phytopathologists 

 took place in 1918, the second in October 1920, and the third was 

 expected to be in October 1921. It was decided in the first and second 

 Congresses to create joint Entomologo-Phytopathological Institutions, 

 so-called "Stations of Plant Protection," associated with the Experi- 

 ment Stations.
