GENERAL ENTOMOLOGY AND MYCOLOGY.
9. That much more work should be done by Fntomologists in
regard to the Pheidole ant, and that the question of baits and the
destruction of nests is worthy of close investigation. As this ant was
of great importance in Kenya, it was recommended that a thorough
investigation should be undertaken in Kenya.

and discuss the question of preventing the spread of Stephanoderes
hampei into Kenya after visiting Coffee areas to the east and west of
Mount Elgon.

entirely different from those in tropical East African Colonies that the
problem of the control of Cut-worm is one for solution in the various
territories concerned.
12. (a) That each participating territory should arrange to
prepare lists of injurious insects and fungoid diseases, with
their food plants and status as pests. and to interchange such
lists.
(b) That, in order that the lists may be uniform, they should be
compiled in the following form: (a) Name, (b) reference to
original description, (¢) distribution, (d) food plants and
alternative hosts, (e) status as a pest, (f) predators and
parasites, (g) further notes.
(¢) That the Imperial Bureau of Entomology and Imperial
Bureau of Mycology in London should be approached with a
view to the compilation, classification and publication of the
lists by them.
18. That each Department of Agriculture of South and East
African Territories should undertake to notify, without delay, every
other such Department of the presence of a new disease or pest
