EEDTE ROP TRANS Mile Nee: 
To the Experiment Station Committee 
of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Dear Srrs:—I transmifherewith for publication as Bulletin 
No. 14, of the Entomological Series, a paper entitled “Philippine 
Wasp Studies,” prepared by Dr. F. X. Williams, with the cooper- 
ation of Mr. S. A. Rohwer, of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, 
who describes many of the new species collected by Dr. Wil- 
liams. This study was carried on while Dr. Williams was in 
the Philippine Islands, from June, 1916, to September, 1917, 
associated with the work of securing natural enemies of the 
Anomala orientalis, a sugar-cane pest on Oahu. 
You are familiar with the valuable parasitic wasp Scola 
manilae, which was introduced and established as the result of 
that campaign. Many of the other wasps discussed in this paper 
are also of economic importance. 
Respectfully, 
ee iP. VAGEE, 
Director.
