Phillips, Ph. D. 1909. Pp. 43-58, 6 plates. Price 15c.

EK. F. Phillips, Ph. D. 1909. Pp. 59-80. (Price 5e. 
A survey of present-day bee keeping in the United States, with suggestions as to the work yet to be 
done before apiculture will have reached its fullest development. 
Bulletin No. 75, Part VII, ‘‘Bee Keeping in Massachusetts.’’ By Burton N. Gates. 
1909. Pp. 81-109; 2 figs. Price 5c. 
An account of a detailed study of the apicultural conditions in Massachusetts. The object of this

Bulletin No. 75, 7 parts. A table of contents and index to the entire bulletin will 
be issued soon, after which the seven parts with contents and index will be pub- 
lished under one cover.

found in diseased brood.

1910. 162 pp., 57 figs. Price 20c. 
An account of the structure of the bee, with technical terms omitted as far as possible. Practically 
all of the illustrations are new, and the various parts are interpreted according to the best usage in com- 
parative anatomy ofinsects. A brief discussion of the physiology of the various organs is included. 
BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY. 
Bulletin No. 110, ‘‘Chemical Analysis and Composition of American Honeys.’’ By 
C. A. Browne. Including ‘‘A Microscopical Study of Honey Pollen.’’ By W. J. 
Young. 1908. 93 pp, 1 fig., 6 plates. Price 20c. 
A very comprehensive study of the chemical composition of American honeys. This publication is 
technical in nature and will perhaps be little used by practical bee keepers, but it is an important con- 
tribution to apicultural literature. By meansof this work the detection of honey adulteration is much 
aided. :
