The time of the Entomologist lias been occupied principally in hand- 
ling the consignments of beneficial insects from Mr. Osborn, who is now 
in the Vera Cruz district of Mexico. 
Two shipments were received from Orizaba, one on the 18th, and another 
on the 25th. Besides containing tumble bugs in good condition, there were 
also a number of parasites and predators supposed to be attached to the 
avacado mealy bug (P. nipae) , some of which have been liberated and 
others retained to experiment on rearing and multiplying them. 
Considerable time has also been spent studying the mealy bugs in 
connection with this work, and some time has been given to carrying 
on investigations and experiments in the control of pineapple insects. 
Respectfully submitted, 
D. T. FULLAWAY, 
Entomologist.
