OF TRANSMITTAL. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, DIVISION OF
ENTOMOLOGY, Washington, D. 0., June 12, 1889. SIR In the absence of
Professor Riley, who is now at the Paris Exposition in official
capacity, Ibeg tosubmit forpublicationParts I, II, and III of the
Bibliography ofAmerican EconomicEntomology, which was ordered by
Congress in July, 1882. Owing to various unforeseen delays this
work has not yet been completed. Its preparation was originally
assigned by Professor Riley to Mr. B. Pickman Mann, formerly of
this Division, and upon the severance of his connection with the
Depart- ment, in the fall of 1885, it was turned over in an
incomplete and fragmentary condition to Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of
Boston, who has added greatly to it and practically rewritten the
portions already prepared. The extent of the work renders it
advisable to publish it in several parts, and as there is
unquestionably a more urgent need on the partof working economic
entomologists for a bibliography of the writings of B. D. Walsh and
C. Y. Riley than of others, on account of their great number and
value, these portions have been finished first. Their imme- diate
publication will probably antecede the publication of the final
part only by a few months. Very respectfully, yours, L. O. HOWARD,
Hon. J. M. RUSK, Secretary of Agriculture. Acting Entomologist.

INTRODUCTION TO PARTS I, II, AND III, The object of the present
lists is to record the principal entomological writings of B. D.
Walsh and C. V. Eiley. Few will be likely to criticize the
association ofthe names ofWalsh and Eiley in a list ofthis kind, so
largely devoted to economic entomology, or to question the
desirability of collating their writings in advance of others. As
recognized authorities upon entomology, especially from an economic
standpoint, their writings have been extensively quoted sometimes
with, but frequently without, credit in the agricultural and
horticultural journals of the day. These secondary references,
though of a certain value when the original is inaccessible, have,
as a rule, been omitted. In citing such as are given I have used my
personal increased the size of the list judgment. To have given all
would hive considerably with but a slight increase in its
usefulness. Occasionally, a publisher to meet some popular demand
puts the writingsof an author into book form without the knowledge
of the latter. Such an occurrence has happened more than once with
Dr. Eileys writings. To mention but one In 1877 Messrs. Gteorge
Eut- ledge Sons, of London, published The Colorado beetle, with
sug- gestions for its repression and methods ofdestruction, with
Dr. Eileys name upon the title-page as author...
