LIBRARY NOTES 
Mr. May reports that little use is being made of the club library. 
This is not as it should be in view of the many good things that are in it. 
The November Bulletin of the Missouri Botanical Gardens has an 
excellent article about the poinsettia and its cultivation ; also one on 
smoke damage to plants. 
Our entomological students will be interested in the synopsis of 
the coleopterous family of Cisidae (Cioidae) of America north of Mex- 
ico, by Chas. Dury. This was published in the Journal of the Cincin- 
nati Society of Natural History, November, 1917, and is now in the 
Club library.
