assistance to others who are working at parasitic and disease- 
transmitting Insects. 
Publications are helping us, even publications in English, as they 
get translated into the vernaculars and filter down into the news- 
papers. « Indian Insect Pests », published in 1906, mainly reached 
European officials, planters, etc., but also some well-educated 
men; much of it has been translated into vernaculars and an edition 
in Bengali is just out, while othersin Hindi, Telugu, Gujarati, etc., 
are following. We have also published articles in the « Agricultural 
Journal », and short articles or leaflets in the vernacular « Agri- 
cultural Magazines » now conducted in some provinces. In special 
cases we issue special leaflets; in the Punjab Bollworm Campaign, 
for instance, 80,000 copies of a leaflet were issued. In connection 
with these publications, and separately, we publish colour plates 
with very short explanations; these are now being more widely 
used for exhibitions at farms, at shows, at museums, schools, etc., 
and in some cases they are published in the agrıcultural papers or 
weekly newspapers. A good colour plate is appreciated for itself, 
though it is doubtful whether we have yet got the right stamp of 
plate to appeal to people. Very many people in India, for instance, 
cannot see a photograph, but we are finding the type of plate that 
appeals, and we find that a really good picture of a plant is 
recognised. We shall in time meet these difficulties, and as we 
have not yet reached one per cent of the people, we may take our 
present efforts to be tentative and experimental rather than far- 
reaching educational influences. We are also tentatively trying 
how far lantern-slide shows will be understood, but it is still 
doubtful whether these will be more than a show, though the 
impassioned appeal of the lecturer may incidentaly fix one idea in 
the head of many of the audience while they admire the to them 
incomprehensible pictures. Still a change has become evident 
even in seven years; many have read something, many are 
interested, and the next generation will probably be different; it 
is a new thing that interests and though we have not got to 
forming societies or reading records of captures, we have numbers 
of influential people who know that a Caterpillar becomes a Moth 
which lays eggs, and who take all occasions to teach others. These 
are straws which we clutch at and heap together as showing that 
even with one worker to about 10 millions of people something is 
being done and we sometimes think that per man we do more than
