Excerpt from Hibernation of the Mexican Cotton Boll Weevil Until this time the hibernation of the bell weevil has been less understood than any other phase of its life history. This was due to the great difficulty in obtaining the necessary data and the fact that the phenomena of hibernation are not necessarily identical in different seasons. In fact, it will be seen from the following pages that there have been very important dissimilarities between the years when special observations have been under way. The necessary repeated work in large cages in different localities has now been carried on and extensive field observations have been made in various representative parts of the infested area as to the natural situations in which the hibernating weevils occur. As a result, the present bulletin will make the life history of the bell weevil during the winter season at least as well known as any other portion of its biology. In the work leading to this bulletin practical considerations have always received primary attention. However, it has repeatedly been shown that careful detailed investigations of injurious insects may result in important suggestions for control that are not foreseen at the beginning of the work. Therefore the tepic of the hibernation of the boll weevil has been investigated from every possible standpoint. Its importance, as a critical period in the life history of a most injuri ous pest, has abundantly warranted this work.

Excerpt from The Mexican Cotton Boll Weevil: A Revision and Amplification of Bulletin 45, to Include the Most Important Observations Made in 1904 The present bulletin is based upon Bulletin N o. 45, of this Bureau entitled The Mexican Cotton Boll Weevil, issued in May, 1904. That publication included the results of investigations of this impor tant pest which had been carried on for several years. The present bulletin includes additional results that were obtained during the sea son of 1904. In form the principal changes are in the incorporation of the treatment of some 50 additional topics. AS a matter of fact, however, Some of the principal actual additions are incorporated in the tables which occur throughout the pages of the bulletin. Many additional features of the life history of the pest that may throw light upon the question of combating it have been investigated. In some respects'very considerable additions to our knowledge of the insect have been made. This is especially the case in all matters relating to dissemination. This topic deals with matters that are naturally dith Cult to determine. The work must be done in the field, and a large territory must be covered. Through the cooperation with the Louisi ana Crop Pest Commission, which was engaged in an attempt to pre vent the further advance of the boll weevil into that State, a number of entomologists occupied several months' time in the extreme eastern and northern regions infested by the pest. It is, of course, only upon the basis of such a complete knowledge of all means by which the weevil leaches new regions that the possibility of checking its advance may be considered.
