LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Division of Entomology, 

 Washington, B. C, November 1, 1898. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the manuscript of a 

 bulletin which contains matter similar to that published in Bulletins 

 Nos. 7 and 10 of the new series, namely, miscellaneous articles and 

 notes which are too short for separate publication but which are of 

 such importance that they should be promptly printed. I recommend 

 the publication of this manuscript as Bulletin 18, new series, of this 

 Division. 



Respectfully, L. O. Howard, 



Hon. James Wilson, Entomologist. 



Secretary of Agriculture.
