[The Don Bureau for the control of pests of agricultural plants 

 of the Rostov-on-Don Society of Horticulture.] — Supplement to 

 « CaflOBOfl'b.» [Horticulturist], Rostov-on-Don, no. 9, September 

 1915. 



A conference convened by the Rostov Society of Horticulture took 

 place on 13th July to consider the question of the establishment of 

 an Entomological Bureau for the province of Don. It was decided 

 that the work of the Bureau should include investigations on the 

 pests of horticulture and agriculture generally. The general cost of 

 the organisation and equipment of the Bureau was estimated at £600 

 and the maintenance expenses at £600 a year. The Department of 

 Agriculture is to provide the salaries of the staff of the Bureau 

 and one half of the remaining expenses, the other half being borne 

 by the local authority for the province. The Bureau will start its 

 operations as soon as the necessary funds are assigned by the 

 respective authorities. The regulations proposed for the Bureau 

 were approved by the Imperial Department of Agriculture on 8th 

 September 1915.

Some genera of the Chalcidoidea, such as Torymus, Megastigmus, 

 Syntomaspis, Isosoma, Eurytoma and others, contain species which 

 are phytophagous. Eurytoma samsonovi, sp. n., observed in Ferghana 

 to infest apricots at 4,500 feet above sea-level, is figured and described. 

 It is related to Enrytonm aniygdcdi, Enderlein [see this Review, Ser. A, 

 ii,'p. 348], and has a similar life-history. E. samsonovi winters as an 

 adult larva inside fallen apricot fruits and pupates in spring, the pupal
