4 DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS OF VICTORIA : 



Part VI., now in course of preparation, will deal also with, 

 beneficial insects, and will complete the series, which, 

 when finished, should constitute a standard work for 

 Australia on the subject of Economic Entomology and 

 Ornithology. -.< 



Following the preface is a very interesting Keport, 

 kindly furnished by Mr. J. G. Turner, Senior Inspector 

 of Fruit Exports and Imports, and embodying the Regu- 

 lations now in operation. The Report and Regulations 

 will be helpful to both growers and shippers. At the end 

 of the volume will be found a short summary of the latest 

 spraying machines and materials placed on the market. 



In conclusion, I have to thank the Assistant Ento- 

 mologist, Mr. C. French, jun., for the many interesting 

 field notes and observations ; Mr. A. T. Sharp, for reading 

 the work, both in manuscript and in proof ; and Mr. 

 H. Shelton for his assistance in the preparation of the 

 Index.
