The Entomologist's time was taken up with attending to the insects 
held in quarantine. During the month two queen bees were introduced by 
Mr. St. John Gilbert^ and after going through the quarantine, were handed 
over to him. 
Two shipments of insects were received from Mr. Osborn, one on the 
5th inst., and the other on the 12th. The first contained 42 coccinellid larvae 
{Nephus species) and about 50 tumble bugs. The second shipment contained 
encyrtids associated with P. bromeliae and supposed to be parasitic on that 
species. All of these insects have been received before and were given 
the usual handling.
