PART V. 

 SEVENTH REPORT 



OF THE 



STATE ENTOMOLOGIST OF CONNECTICUT 



To the Director and Board of Control of the Connecticut Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station: 

 I hereby transmit my seventh report as state entomologist, 

 according to Section 4387 of the General Statutes. As all 

 state reports are to be published biennially hereafter instead of 

 annually, technically this is Part V. of the biennial report. The 

 financial and other administrative details are herein omitted, 

 but will be published at the end of the biennial period. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



W. E. Britton, 



State Entomologist. 



" During the calendar year of 1907 the members of the office 

 force have made thirty-one nursery inspections, thirty-one 

 inspections of orchards, gardens and greenhouses,, have written 

 1,156 letters regarding matters pertaining to the work of the 

 department, sent out sixty-eight packages by mail and express, 

 and have given eight addresses and lectures at agricultural and 

 scientific meetings. 



The state entomologist has been ably assisted throughout the 

 year by Mr. B. H. Walden as general assistant, who has been in 

 charge of the office in the absence of the entomologist; by Mr. 

 George H. HoUister as local superintendent in charge of gypsy 

 moth work at Stonington ; and by Miss Elizabeth B. Whittlesey, 

 who has worked as stenographer for half of each day.
