Publications. The Associate State Entomologist has published 
but one paper during the past year. This was on The Immature 
Stages of the Catnip Leaf Hopper, Eupterix melissae, and 
was published in joint authorship with George W. Barber of the 
United States Bureau of Entomology, in the Journal of the New 
York Entomological Society, December 1923. 
Acknowledgments. Particular acknowledgment should be made 
of the hearty cooperation and assistance given by various specialists 
of the United States Bureau of Entomology, through Dr L. O. 
Howard, its chief, in making determinations of specimens and in 
supplying information of various kinds. Without the important 
clearing house which the Bureau of Entomology forms, for deter- 
mination of the more doubtful forms and for information in their 
files, the speed and accuracy of handling the very considerable 
variety and bulk of correspondence on entomological matters would 
be greatly retarded.
