the larve of E'phestia kuehniella Zell., and Phanerotoma tibialis 
Hald. from pecan nuts badly infested with Galaninus caryw Horn. 
To Dr. L. O. Howard and his assistants the writers are indebted 
for the determination of a considerable number of the species above 
mentioned. 
Mr. Slingerland called attention to the fact that prepared arsenate 
of lead in wooden buckets dried and caked badly. He thought it 
was much better to purchase in tin. 
Various speakers complained of its eating through the tin and con- 
sequently they preferred the wood, but the members were evidently 
divided as to which was better. 
Mr. Quaintance asked what the effect of arsenate of lead was on 
peach and plum. 
Mr. Smith said that it could be used two or three times on peach 
at the rate of 1 pound to 25 gallons without apparent injury. 
Mr. Slingerland questioned the advisability of the home-made 
arsenate of lead, because the materials were often adulterated. 
Messrs. Burgess and Sanderson both believed that the arsenate of 
soda was often adulterated and unreliable in strength. Mr. Fernald 
preferred to make his own, but felt it necessary to be very particular 
from what source the arsenate of soda was obtained. 
The question of the advisability of using trade names in publica- 
tion was brought up, and a lively discussion, participated in by almost 
all of the members, indicated that the general feeling was that the 
exact truth should be told about materials sold under trade names, 
referring to them by these names in the publications. In. some 
cases, however, this was impossible on account of the official censor- 
ship. Some members, however, believed that trade names should not 
be used in publication. 
The question arose as to whether it was desirable to publish the 
names of people on whose property experiments are made or whose 
premises are infested with certain insects. Mr. Gillette believed 
that this should rest in each case with the party concerned. If the 
owner of the property wished his name mentioned, this should be 
done, but otherwise not. Mr. Burgess agreed with this view. In 
Ohio there had been a prejudice against firms who fumigated their 
trees. A photograph of a fumigating house of one nurseryman was 
secured, but the owner was consulted as to whether he desired to have 
his name mentioned before any steps were taken concerning its 
publication. 
Mr. Slingerland asked if entomologists should be expected to test 
all the nostrums that are put on the market.
