To give information about insects free of charge is one of the duties 
of this Division and Hawaiian readers are hereby invited to make in- 
quiry in person and by mail. In order to be able to advise intelligently 
or send the right kind of useful insects for relief we like and sometimes 
it is indispensable for us to see the insect suspected or caught in the act, 
also specimens of the injury. In a tin with a hole or two, or a wooden 
box specimens may be mailed at 3rd class rates. When specimens are 
not accompanied by letter always write your name and address in the 
upper left-hand corner of the package. Address all communications
