LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



United States Department of Agriculture, 



Bureau of Entomology, 

 Washington, D. C. 31 ay 8, 1906. 

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

 the proceedings of the eighteenth annual meeting of the Associa- 

 tion of Economic Entomologists, which was held at Xew Orleans, 

 La., January 1 to -i, 1906. As the papers presented at the meetings 

 of this association are of very considerable economic importance and 

 as the reports of the secretaries of these meetings have hitherto been 

 published by the Department of Agriculture as bulletins. I recom- 

 mend the publication of the present report as Bulletin Xo. 60 of this 

 Bureau. 



Respectfully, C. L. Marlatt. 



Acting Chief of Bureau. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
