Acknowledgments. We take pleasure in acknowledging the 
generous co-operation during the two years just past of the entomo- 
logical force, the Director of the Station, and members of the Sta- 
tion staff in general. 
We wish particularly to acknowledge the co-operation of Mr. 
H. L. Viereck, specialist in Hymenoptera, who has been of material 
service to us in the work on the Hymenoptera of this state. 
The press, as usual, has been courteous and helpful. Nursery- 
men and florists have willingly complied with the provisions of the 
Inspection Law and we feel that the years of 1913 and 1914 have 
been successful in this particular. 
We are deeply indebted to Professor Whedon for complying to 
our request for a contribution on Minnesota Odonata. 
The Governor of the State, to whom this report is addressed, has 
shown his interest and co-operative spirit in various ways. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Le WASHBURN: 
State Entomologist. 
Financial reports for 1913 and 1914 are herewith appended.
