Report of the Proceedings of the Second Entomological Meeting, 
held at Pusa, February 5 to 12, 1917, edited by T'. Bainbrigge- 
Fletcher, R.N., F.LUS., FES. F.ZsS—This publication 
justifies the claim made in the preface that it is “‘ practically 
an abstract of our current knowledge of Indian crop pests.” 
In addition to this, it gives some idea how meagre our know- 
ledge is, and how many are the gaps yet to be filled before

pests. To quote again from the preface, the report is “ based 
partly on the notes prepared before the meeting was held, and 
partly on a running abstract made during the meeting.” 
The book commences with a list of members and visitors 
who attended the meeting—twenty-six in all. A list of the 
coloured plates follows. There are no less than thirty-four 
of these depicting the life-histories of various major and 
minor pests. These plates are one of the most useful features
