 Sir: 1 have the honor to transmit herewith a brief manuscript, bv 

 Mr. A. C. Moro-an of this Bureau, concernino- a predatory bug; which 

 was reported as an enemy of the boll weevil, but which, upon investi- 

 gation, proves to be a species of economic insignificance. In order 

 that the facts learned concerning this insect may be put on record for 

 future reference, I recommend the publication of the paper as Part IV 

 of Bulletin No. 63. 



. Respectfully, L. O. Howard.
