FALL NUMBER 23 
PERSONALS 
New members of our society are T. H. Hubbell and John 
Gray. Prof. Hubbell comes to assist Dr. Rogers in the teaching 
of entomology in the University. He is an ecologist and par- 
ticularly interested in orthoptera. Mr. Gray is Professor of 
Economic Entomology and Pathology in the Agricultural Col- 
lege. 
Mr. D. Marston Bates of Ft. Lauderdale, the youngest mem- 
ber of our society and an earnest student of microlepidoptera, 
has entered the University. He is also working as part time 
- assistant in the Department of Entomology of the Experiment 
iar 
Station. 
Mr. R. L. Trigg has resigned his position as research fellow 
for the National Research Council located at the Experiment 
Station to accept a position with the Federal Horticultural 
Board. He will be located at New York. Mr. Trigg has se- 
cured some valuable data on the influence of sulphur on the 
root-knot nematodes. 
Reginald Hart has been acting as assistant to the entomolo- 
gist of the State Plant Board during the absence of Mr. Geo. 
Merrill on a short vecation in the Carolinas. 
Among the publications recently published by our members 
are two by Dr. H. S. Davis of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries on 
diseases of fish and three by Dr. Carl J. Drake in Technical Pub- 
lication No. 16, of the N. Y. State College of Forestry. 
Mr. A. H. Beyer recently visited Lakeland Highlands where 
“pumpkin bugs’, Nezara viridula, were doing much damage to 
citrus. They were killing limbs of grapefruit trees an inch or 
two in diameter. They attack the upper side of limbs bending 
under the weight of fruit at the point of maximum bending, 
where it seems to be easier for them to pierce the bark. This 
type of injury was first brought to our attention last year. The 
infestation was due to a crop of cowpeas that was allowed to grow 
until about the first of October instead of being cut by the middle 
of September as has been recommended. 
A recent correspondent writes concerning the “fungas” in his 
grove. A member of the Board of Control once said that Dr. 
Berger is the man who put the fun in fungus. Who inserted the 
gas? .
