LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 
Office of State Entomologist, 
Urbana, III., Dec. 26, 1894. 
To His Excellency, John P. Altgeld, Governor of the State of 
Illinois: 
Sir: —I have the honor to transmit herewith my eighth report 
as State Entomologist of Illinois, the nineteenth from this office. 
Although it applies nominally to the work of the years 1893 and 
1894, it includes the results of some investigations made in 1891 
and 1892. On the other hand, much of the work in progress 
during the two years just past, requires a longer time for its 
completion, and my report on it is consequently withheld until it 
can be presented in a finished form. 
Respectfully submitted. 
S. A. Forbes, 
State Entomologist.
