LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Division of Entomology, 

 Washington, D. C, January 7, 1897. 

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

 letin No. 7, new series, of this Division. It contains certain articles, 

 reports, and notes which are difficult to classify, but which are all 

 more or less important and well worth immediate publication. 

 Respectfully, 



L. O. Howard, 



Entomologist. 

 Hon. J. Sterling Morton, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
