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

 by the State Entomologist entitled the Control of Household In- 

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

 tion, has been 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 Museum. 



Very respectfully 



John M. Clarke 



Director

Approved for publication this 26th day of January 1910
