noxious weeds, and for making, at request, special observations upon these. I must 

 particularly mention in this connection, Prof. John Macoun, of Ottawa, who has on 

 many occasions helped me with the identification of specimens, and also Dr. L. O. 

 Howard, the U.S. Entomologist, Dr. Harrison G. Dyar, of the U.S. National Museum, 

 and Mr. B. T. Galloway, of Washington. My thanks are also specially due to Dr. J. 

 B. Smith, of Kew Brunswick, N.J., who has examined and named for me large num- 

 bers of Noctuidas taken in Canada. 



In conclusion, I take pleasure in again testifying to the excellent work done by my 

 assistants, Mr. J. A. Guignard, B.A., and Mr. Arthur Gibson, to whose loyal and care- 

 ful work much of the success of the work of the Division is due. 



I have the honour to be, sir. 



Your obedient servant, 



JAMES FLETCHEE, 



Entomologist and Botanist to the Dominion Experimental Farms.
