 Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith a revision of our State 

 Museum Bulletin 109 relating to the elm leaf beetle, the tussock 

 moth and their depredations upon our shade trees. The demand 

 for information on these insect pests is large and the last 

 edition of the bulletin is now exhausted. I therefore recommend 

 this manuscript for publication. 



Very respectfully
