Voluntary observers. These correspondents of the office have 

 continued to send reports throughout the growing season and a 

 number of valuable facts were brought to our notice in this way. 

 These records increase in value with the advance of years. 



General. The office is indebted to Dr L. O. Howard, Chiet 

 of the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agri- 

 culture, and to members of his staff for kindly determining varioub 

 insects submitted to them throughout the year. 



In conclusion it may be stated that the enthusiastic cooperation 

 of voluntary observers and others in touch with the office, the in- 

 creased correspondence, and the great demand for our pubHcatioub 

 indicate a well sustained interest in this branch of scientific work. 

 Respectfully submitted
