ENTOMOLOGY IN INDIA. 
19 
The Imperial Forest Research Institute publishes information 
relative to Forest Entomology in “ Forest Records and Memoirs/’ and 
some has appeared in the pages of the “ Indian Forester.” “ The 
Bulletins of the Tea Association ” contain the bulk of the work on insects 
injurious to tea, supplementary to the volume on Diseases and Pests 
of the Tea Plant by Watt and Mann. The Indian Museum, in 
“ Indian Museum Records ” and “ Memoirs of the Indian Museum,” 
issues articles mainly on systematic entomology but also bionomic work. 
The “ Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society ” is the recog¬ 
nised medium for most purely systematic work and for some bionomic 
work ; the papers in this Journal are of extreme value and must be 
consulted. We have referred below to the more important papers. 
The Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal contain also papers on 
general entomology and on systematic work. 
This exhausts the present publications dealing with the various 
aspects of this subject in India ; occasional papers on systematic 
entomology appear in the proceedings of learned Societies in England, 
Europe, the United States. A summary of these is contained in the 
Annual Report of the Board of Scientific Advice in India, as is a 
summary of all entomological work and publications in India. 
It is necessary to mention one further publication no longer in exist¬ 
ence. For over fifteen years, “ Indian Museum Notes” was issued from 
the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and contained papers, notes, etc., dealing 
with economic and systematic entomology. We have made constant 
reference to it below and practically all information contained in it, 
dealing with the insects of the plains, is abstracted or referred to here, 
or is amplified in Indian Insect Pests. The best feature of this publica¬ 
tion was its beautiful photogravure plates ; the originals of many of 
these are here reproduced as text figures. Sets of this publication are 
still available at Pusa, and complete sets can be consulted in most 
official or public libraries in India. 
With the exception of the Bombay and Asiatic Societies, the above 
publications are issued by Government and copies of most of them are 
available to serious workers. All can be seen also in most public 
libraries, and the published work in entomology is generally available. 
It is impossible to refer here to other literature ; the reader will see
