2 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COTTON BOLL WEEVIL. 



special historical or economic interest it has been necessary to make 

 references to a number of agricultural journals and similar period- 

 icals. Such journals furnished the only source for a considerable 

 class of information. Articles of minor or mcidcntal im]Hirtance 

 have not been included. A certain number of visionary and contro- 

 versial articles have also been excluded. It is believed, however, 

 that references are made to all of the writings necessary to furnish 

 such information regarding the various ramifications of the weevil 

 problem as may be desired by most persons. In the laboi-atorv of 

 the Bureau of Entomology at Dallas. Tex., however, a complete 

 manuscript bibliography, consisting of 515 titles, is to be found. 

 Access to this manuscript will be given to such pei*sons as may desu*e
