PHOCEEDINGS OF TUE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING • 1041 



completed or advanced work, whilst the Bulletins include incomplete 

 or preliminary work. 



But I know of cases where one part of a Memoir has been published Mr. Ramakrishna 

 in one year and a second part has appeared three years later. I sent •"yy^- 

 a i^aper of mine to be publi.shed as a Memoir and I was told that it 

 could only be published as a Bulletin. 



I presume that you are referring to the paper on the Coccidae of Mr. Fletcher. 

 Southern India, That seemed to me to be a collection of short notes 

 on different species rather than an intensive study of one or more species, 

 and therefore it was a Bulletin. I am sorry if we offend on occasion 

 but we try to do our best. 



Bulletins do not supply our needs and this .Journal, that I have Mr. Ghosh, 

 proposed, should be a common ground for the discussion of entomolo- 

 gical matter. I know that there is no real difficulty in contributing 

 to the vernacular jjapers, although this has to be done with permission ; 

 yet it has not been done so far, and we ought to do it regularly. These 

 Bulletins of one hundred Notes should be replaced by a Journal such 

 as I propose. 



We could start it as a part of the Agricultural Journnl of India, Mr. Misra. 

 quarterly or half-yearly in separate parts. We could send in notes 

 of general interest such as a discussion on the value of topping cotton- 

 plants against bollworms. Or a portion of the Agricultural Journal 

 of India should be set apart for Entomology. 



Would it not be better to bring forward a definite proposal on the Mr. Afzal Husain. 

 subject of this Journal ? 



I will bring forward a Resolution. Mr. Ghosh. 



I do not see the necessity for setting apart a portion of the Agri- Mr. Fletcher. 

 cultural Journal. I am sure that the Editor is always pleased to receive 

 and insert any contributions on entomological subjects without being 

 necessarily tied down to setting aside a portion for entomological 

 articles. 



I suppose that any contributions could be sent to the Agricultural Mr. Ramakrishna 

 Journal. Ayyar. 



Mr. Andrews, how can one get the pubUcations of tbe Indian Tea Mr. Senior- White. 

 Association ? On applying to the ordinary booksellers one is usually 

 told that these publications are not in stock. 



Our pubheations are obtainable from the Secretary of the Indian Mr. Andrews. 

 Tea Association.
