LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



U. S. Department oe Agriculture, 



Division of Entomology, 



Washington, October 3, 1902. 

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

 Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Association 

 of Economic Entomologists, which was held at Pittsburg, Pa., June 

 !27 and 28, 1902. The papers presented at these meetings are always 

 of the highest economic importance, and the present series is of an 

 unusually practical nature. The Department of Agriculture has 

 hitherto published the secretary's reports as bulletins of this Division, 

 and 1 therefore recommend the publication of the manuscript here 

 presented as Bulletin No. 37 (new series). 



Respectfully. L. O. Howard, 



Entomologist. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
