Washington, D. C., December 15, 1897. 
Str: [have the honor to transmit herewith the manuscript of a bulle- 
tin which contains matter comparable to that contained in No. 7 of the 
new series, viz, miscellaneous articles, reports and notes which are diffi- 
cult to classify, but which deserve prompt publication. I therefore 
recommend its publication as Bulletin 10, new series, of this Division. 
Respectfully, 
L. O. HowarD, 
Entomologist. 
Hon. JAMES WILSON, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
