of Locusts and at the same time Rodentia of the genus Spermophilus, 

 which are abundant in the steppes of South-Eastem Russia. 



New ppisoned Siberian mixtures are now in use throughout all Siberia. 



Summary 



1. The work of Entomologists in Russia is being continued in spite 

 of the isolation of that country. 



2. Many well known and celebrated Entomologists are participating 

 in this work. 



3. They are in great need of scientific Entomological literature pub- 

 lished abroad during the years 1915-1921, that is, of books, journals, 

 separates, etc. which they are unable to purchase under existing condi- 

 tions, but for which they would send in exchange Russian publications. 



4. The U. S. Post Offices accept mail for Russia, addressed via Eng- 

 land; letters reach Russia without very much delay. 



5. Mail from Russia to the the United States is not arriving satis- 

 factorily, but somewhat better at this time. 



6. The writer of this report, who represents one of the divisions of 

 the Russian Agricultural Scientific Committee will be glad to impart 

 any information he receives regarding Russian Entomologists upon 

 request from his American colleagues and will also accept for forwarding 

 to Russia any parcels with literature, if such would be found possible 

 to spare for this purpose. It may be directed to the following address: 

 110 W. 40th St., Room 1603, New York City.

 discuss them. We now have some business to attend to. The first 

 in order will be the nomination of the Chairman and the Secretary for 

 the Horticultural Inspection Section for next year. 



Messrs. Hamed and Sasscer were nominated for Chairman and Secre- 

 tary respectively, and duly elected. 



Chairman Ruggles: Is there any other business? 



Mr. Sasscer: I mentioned a moment ago that Mr. J. J. Davis 

 had prepared a very complete and excellent index of the greenhouse 

 insects. So far as I am aware, this is the only manuscript of the kind, 

 and imfortunately, it has not been published although it has been ready 

 for publication for several years. Apparently there is some difficulty 

 in getting some organization to accept it. Inasmuch as we all are,
