DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, | 
DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY, 
Washington, D. C., January 14, 1883. 
Str: I have the honor to submit for publication Bulletin No. 1, from 
this Division, prepared in accordance with the suggestions in my annual 
report and under your instructions. This is the first of a series of Bul- 
letins which I hope from time to time to submit, and which will not only 
facilitate the work of the Division, but place before the public current 
matter that would either lose much of its value if kept for the annual 
report, or find no space in the limited pages of that volume. 
Respectfully, 
C. V- BILEY, 
Entomologist. 
Hon. GEo. B. LORING, 
Commissioner of Agriculture.
