﻿PROCEEDINGS 
  OF 
  THE 
  FOURTH 
  ENTOMOLOGICAL 
  MEETING 
  

  

  I 
  had 
  occasion 
  to 
  work 
  at 
  lac 
  for 
  a 
  couple 
  of 
  months 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Howlett 
  

   in 
  connexion 
  with 
  certain 
  suggestions 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  Shellac 
  Committee. 
  

   The 
  lac-insects 
  obtained 
  from 
  different 
  host 
  plants 
  are 
  all 
  called 
  by 
  

   the 
  general 
  name 
  of 
  T. 
  lacca. 
  Is 
  there 
  sufficient 
  structural 
  difference 
  

   amongst 
  them 
  to 
  warrant 
  any 
  specific 
  differentiation 
  and 
  are 
  the 
  host- 
  

   plants 
  interchangeable 
  ? 
  

  

  We 
  hope 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  say 
  by 
  the 
  next 
  Meeting.

  The 
  title 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Misra's 
  paper 
  was 
  misleading. 
  I 
  hoped 
  to 
  learn 
  

   the 
  technique 
  employed. 
  Fortunately 
  Mr. 
  Hewlett's 
  views 
  on 
  the 
  

   lac 
  problem 
  have 
  been 
  preserved 
  and 
  will 
  be 
  published 
  shortly 
  in 
  a 
  

   Forest 
  Bulletin.
