REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Sm : I have the honor to submit the following report of a part of the 

 investigations carried on by the Entomological i)i\dsion of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture during the past year. These researches have been 

 briefly as follows : The completing of the investigation of insects in- 

 jurious to the cotton-plant, which was begun in 1878 j the beginning of 

 an examination of insects injurious to orange trees j and a study of 

 various other insects of economic importance which have been brought 

 to the attention of the Department. 



The work of this year on the cotton-insect investigation consisted of 

 clearing up some obscure points in the life history of the cotton-worm 

 and boll-worm, the conducting of an extensive seriesof experiments with 

 remedies, and the writing of a report upon the whole investigation, which 

 has been published.
