Entomologists; Reports and Bulletins of the U. S. Entomolog- 

 ical Commission; Reports of the Entomologists of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture; Farmers' Bulletins, Dept. of Agri- 

 culture; Bulletins and Circulars of the Bureau of Entomology; 

 Insect Life, formerly published by the Division of Entomology; 

 The Journal of Economic Entomology, now published at Dur- 

 ham, N. H. A practically complete bibliography of economic 

 entomology in America has been written by Henshaw and 

 Banks and published in eight parts by the Department of Agri- 

 culture. This work may be found in public libraries, but some 

 of the parts are now so scarce that even an entomologist has 

 difficulty in getting a complete set. 



Often one will find just the entomological information that 

 he wants in the publications of his own state. Here in Illinois 

 we have a rich and original source of information in the reports 

 of the state experiment station and the Bulletin of the State 

 Laboratory of Natural History. Especially helpful are the 

 eighteenth and twenty-third reports of the state entomologist, 

 constituting a monograph of the insect injuries to Indian corn; 

 and th€ twenty-first report, which treats of a great number of 

 common insects. 



The Bureau of Entomology at Washington, D. C, has is- 

 sued many useful circulars on injurious insects. These, as well 

 as the Farmers' Bulletins, are sent free, on application to the 

 Secretary of Agriculture. Circular 76 is a list of publications 

 of the Bureau of Entomology. Some of these are free and others 

 are to be had at a nominal price from the Superintendent of 

 Documents. 



A work of great usefulness is Bulletin No. 81, of the Bureau 

 of Entomology, entitled "A List of Works on North American 

 Entomology". Unfortunately, the demand for this bulletin is 

 such that each new edition is soon exhausted. 



By making a little effort, any teacher can get the entomo- 

 logical information that he desires. 

 Note — Most of the cuts used in this article were kindly loaned by 



Prof. S. H. Forbes, State Entomologist. 



The University of California has apprppriated $2,000 

 with which to advance the work in agricultural nature-study 

 in grammar schools. Prof. E. B. Babcock and Mr. C. A. Steb- 

 bins, well known to readers of the Review, are directing the 

 work. Much is expected from this movement.
