courtesy of Dr L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology, 

 United States Department of Agriculture, and his associates. 

 Several correspondents have assisted by securing valuable speci- 

 mens, and many have rendered efficient service by transmitting local 

 data respecting various insects. It is a pleasure to note that there 

 has been, as in the past, a most helpful cooperation on the part of 

 all interested in the work of the office. 



Respectfully submitted
