PED PERSCOR TRANSMITTAL 
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 
BuREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY, 
Washington, D. C., December 22, 1910. 
Srr: [ have the honor to transmit herewith for publication a manu- 
script entitled ‘The Sugar-Cane Insects of Hawaii,” by Mr. D. L. 
Van Dine, recently a special agent of this Bureau, and for several 
years entomologist of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station. ~ 
The manuscript includes a discussion of the present status of the 
sugar industry of the Hawaiian Islands and treats of the principal 
insect enemies to this important industry, whichis rapidly assuming 
large proportions in our Southern States owing to the increased 
acreage which is being planted to cane. I would recommend its 
publication as Bulletin No. 93 of the Bureau of Entomology. 
Respectfully, 
L. O. Howarp, 
Chief of Bureau. 
Hon. James WILson, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
