 Forbes' interest was primarily in re- 

 search and not in administering laws. 



During the reorganization of state gov- 

 ernment under Governor Frank O. Low- 

 den's administration, the chance came to 

 make changes which would bring Forbes' 

 interests into clearer focus. 1 he State 

 Laboratory of Natural History and the 

 research activities of the State Entomolo- 



gist were brought together in 1917 under 

 a new name, the Natural History Sur- 

 vey. This Survey was placed in the De- 

 partment of Registration and Education 

 along with the two other scientific sur- 

 veys, Geological and Water. The admin- 

 istration of quarantine laws and the like 

 was transferred to the State Department 

 of Agriculture.
