OTWITHSTANDING this was a short course, it EntO 

 was exceedingly interesting and instructive. The 

 work consisted of field investigations with special 

 reference to insects causing injury to standing timber 

 and forest products in general. Insect ravages were 

 located and samples of their work procured. 

 The following reference is taken from the Diary: 

 Wednesday, July 24th Prof. Pettit took us "bugging," covering 

 one whole section and obtained numerous fine specimens of bark 

 beetles. A close observation was made also on the work of the larch 

 saw fly. 



After dinner Prof. Pettit gave an interesting lecture, followed by 

 discussion of the various insects found in forest work. After the 

 lecture, further observations were made in the field.
