Dr. L. 0. Howard has made the following request of this division: 
"Will you, when you happen to be writing to your field laboratories, sug- 
gest that the entomologists of your branch, especially if they have pub- 
lished something, should by all means send in their photographs for the 
Bureau collection, in case they have not already done so. Although the 
collection now numbers well over twenty-five hundred, I know that a nunm- 
ber of the younger men of the Bureau are not represented, and this surely 
should not be the case."
