Abstract
THE fourth Imperial Entomological Conference, which was summoned on behalf of the Imperial Institute of Entomology and attended by twenty-seven delegates, each representing a different Dominion, Colony or other area of the British Empire, was held in London on September 19-27. The delegates were received by Sir Charles J. Howell Thomas, chairman of the Executive Council, and devoted the remainder of the first morning to the appointment of committees concerned with questions affecting the future policy and activities of the Imperial Institute of Entomology. Afterwards, four mornings or afternoons were devoted to meetings of committees and a final business meeting, and five to public meetings at which papers were read and discussed. Visits were paid to Rothamsted Experimental Station, the Forest Products Research Laboratory, Princes Risborough, the Parasite Laboratory of the Imperial Institute of Entomology at Farnham Royal, and the Stored Products Research Laboratory, Slough. At Farnham Royal, much interest was taken in a cinematograph film shown by Dr. K. R. S. Morris, illustrating work on the collection in central Europe and Sweden of parasites of pine sawflies (Diprion) for export to Canada.
