Certain of the more interesting and lesser-known forms have received mention in Short articles and notes published in divisional bulletins and elsewhere, and the commoner species have been treated in a more popular manner in three articles, prepared, respectively, for the Year book Of the Department Of Agriculture for 1894, a Bulletin on House hold Insects (bull. No. 4, n. Issued by this Division, and a Farmers' Bulletin recently published by the Department, making a total of eleven titles of publications having a bearing on this subject.

This matter Is presented in the following ten articles, prepared in a somewhat more popular or less technical style than will be pursued in the more exhaustive work planned.
The different injurious Species here considered are all amen able to sim ilar treatment, and for the benefit of such as may not be fully informed upon this subject it should be stated that a consideration Of methods Of control, together with brief accounts Of eighteen Of the more important species affecting stored cereals, prepared by the writer by direction of the Assistant Secretary, has recently been issued as Farmers' Bulletin no. 45, by this Department, and may be had by application to the Secretary Of Agriculture.
