LE1TER OF TRANSMITTAL 



U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



Division of Entomology. 

 Washington, D. C July 10. 1902. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith manuscript of an index 

 to the Bulletins of the Division of Entomology, Nos. 1 to SO, new series, 

 published in the years 1896 to 1901, and which has been prepared by 

 Mr. Nathan Banks, an assistant in this office. These Bulletins are con- 

 stantly referred to by experiment-station entomologists and others 

 interested in this subject, and we have frequently received letters ask- 

 ing that such a general index be published. I therefore have no hesita- 

 tion in recommending its publication. 

 Respectfully, 



L. O. Howard. 



Entomologist. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
