H„ E. Hodgkiss, Acting Secretary 
Rocky Mountain Conference of Entomologists 
The Rocky Mountain Conference of Entomologists held at Pingree Park, Colorado 
August 20 to 26, under the auspices of the Department of Entomology, Colorado 
Agricultural College, proved a complete success. All were of the opinion that the 
week was a very profitable one and it certainly was a pleasurable one for not only the 
entomologists, but for the members of their families that were present as well. 
Pingree Park is a beautiful mountain park, little developed as yet, located about 50 
miles by auto from Fort Collins, and at altitude of about 9000 feet. A number of 
beautiful streams and lakes that are accessible afford good trout fishing, and oppor¬ 
tunities for mountain hikes and horseback trips are unlimited. Some beautiful 
trails lead to snow and a natural glacier within a few hours time. 
The Colorado Agricultural College owns a lodge in these interesting surroundings 
for the students of forestry. This was made headquarters for the meetings. 
During the week a part of each day was given to enjoying these wonders of nature, 
in insect collection, contests of various kinds, and in having a general good time. Two 
daily business sessions were held, usually one in the afternoon and the other in the 
evening around the big fire place in the lodge. The meetings being very informal 
resulted in such free discussion that the week was too short for the entire program 
and the many calls offered by the park and mountains. The following subjects were 
discussed:
