It is a pleasure to record the completion of the "Index to American 

 Economic Entomology," covering the important literature from Jan- 

 uary 1, 1905, to December 31, 1914, so far as the preparation of the 

 manuscript is concerned. The compiler, Dr. Nathan Banks of the 

 United States Bureau of Entomology, is to be congratulated upon 

 having finished his part of the work, an undertaking which makes all 

 economic entomologists his debtors. Thanks are due Dr. L. O. Howard, 

 chief of the Bureau, for detailing the assistance necessary for the 

 prompt completion of this work. 



The "Index" contains over 25,000 references, a striking testimony 

 to entomological industry during the decade covered by the publication. 

 Some idea of what this means is indicated by the approximately 500 

 references to Aspidiotus perniciosus, 400 to Carpocapsa potnonella, 350 

 to Anthonomus grandis, 200 each to Euproctis chrysorrhcea, Porthetria 

 dispar and Musca domestica; 175 to Conoirachelus nenuphar; 100 each 

 to Heliothis obsoleta, Hemerocampa leucostigma, Leptinotarsa dno- 

 decimlineata, Mayeiiola destructor and others. 



Many familiar names are followed by fifty or sixty references while 

 hosts of others, some decidedly unfamiliar, are accompanied by a few 

 to a dozen citations culled from every imaginable publication. It is 

 a guide to the latest and best in economic literature and is indispensible 

 to every worker who would keep abreast of the times.
