Sir: In April of last year I communicated to you a bulletin 

 by the State Entomologist entitled the Control of Household In- 

 sects. Th' publication, which was issued to a considerable edi- 

 tion, has be 1 entirely exhausted and the demand continues. To 

 meet this outstanding demand for knowledge in regard to house- 

 hold insect pests, I transmit to you herewith the manuscript for 

 a new edition of this work, enlarged in its scope, and recom- 

 mend its publication as a bulletin of the State Aluseum. 



Very respectfully
