1ST OF PUBLICATIONS OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The following is a list of the principal publications of the 

 Entomologist during the year 1890 — sixty-one are named — giving 

 title, place and time of publication, and a summary of contents. 

 A similar list for the years 1878 and 1879 is appended : 



Gypsy Moth in Medford, Mass.* (Country Gentleman, for Janu- 

 ary, 23, 1890, Iv, p. 69, c. 2, 3 — 26 cm.) 



As comment on a notice in the New York World on the introduction 

 in Medford of the European gypsy moth, Ocneria dispar, and the alarm 

 occasioned by it — opinion is expressed, that even if it should become 

 widespread, it will not " cause more havoc than the Colorado potato- 

 beetle," based on reasons given. Prompt and energetic action should, 

 however, be taken to arrest its spread, and exterminate it in its present 

 limited locality, through measures recommended in a late Bulletin of 

 the Hatch Experiment Station, by Professor Fernald.

 Journal, for January 23, 1890, xxxiv, p. 3, c. 4 — 12 cm.)

 held the above date, the operations of the grain aphis, the hop aphis, 

 fruit insects, shade tree defoliators, the grapevine flea-beetle, and other 

 insect pests of the past year, are noticed. 



Mites Infesting Smoked Meats. (Orange Judd Farmer, for Janu- 

 ary 25, 1890, vii, p. 68, c. 1, 2 — 20 cm.) 



Mites infesting smoked hams in a provision house in New York city 

 were identified as Tijroglyphus mro. The meat had probably become 

 infested in a western packing-house whence they came. Dipping in a 

 bath of one part of carbolic acid to one hundred parts of water, recom- 

 mended for destroying the mites.
