LETfER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



United States Department of AaRiouLTURE, 



Division of Entomology, 

 Washinf/fou, J>. C, October 15, 1895. 

 Sir: I beg to submit herewith the manuscript of the secretary's 

 report of the i)rocee(iiDg\s of the seventh annual meeting of the Asso- 

 ciation of Economic Entomologists, Avhich was held at Springfield, 

 Mass., August 27 and 28, 1895. On account of the fact that the pro- 

 ceedings of this association are invariably of great practical importance, 

 the Department has heretofore been glad to publish the secretary's 

 reports in Insect Lile. Since Insect Life has been discontinued, I 

 recommend that the present report be published as Bulletin No. 2 of 

 the new series of bulletins of this division. 

 Eespectfully, 



Hon. J. Sterling Morton, 



Secretary of Arjric'ultnre. 



L. O. Howard, 



Entomologist.
