PART 1V. 
After some discussion, the following resolution was agreed to for 
reference to the main Conference: — - 
(I) That each participating Territory should arrange to 
prepare lists of injurious insects, with their food-plants and 
status as pests, and to interchange such lists. 
(2) That, in order that the lists may be uniform, they should 
be compiled in the following form : (a) Name, (b) Reference to 
original description, (c) distribution, (d) food-plants and alterna- 
tive hosts, (e) status as a pest, (f) predators and parasites, (2) 
further notes. 
The question was further considered at a joint meeting of the 
Agricultural, Entomological, and Mycological Sections. 
Mr. HOLM thought that the lists should comprise fungoid 
diseases as well as injurious insects. 
The Conference approved this suggestion. 
Miss WELSFORD said that a list of fungoid diseases had been 
partly prepared at the Bureau of Mycology, and if the Bureau were 
approached it would probably be prepared to undertake the work. 
Mr. HOLM considered that it was the proper duty of the Bureau 
of Entomology and the Bureau of Mycology in London to carry out 
the work of editing and prblishing the lists when received from 
various Territories. 
It was agreed that the conclusions which had been approved by 
the Entomological and Mycological Section should be endorsed, with 
the addition of a rider to the effect: 
That the Bureau of Entomology and the Bureau of Mycology 
in London should be approached with a view to the compilation 
and classification of the lists by them. 
NOTIFICATION OF PESTS. 
(Dealt with at full meeting of all Sections.) 
The CHAIRMAN read the note by Mr. H. C. Sampson (T.C.(C) 
Cot.3).* 
Mr. KIRBY stated : 
(1) That paragraph 8 of the paper evidently referred to a recent 
occurrence in regard to cotton-growing in the Rungwe district 
(Tanganvika) and Northern Nyasaland. 
(2) That there was no outbreak of any cotton pest in Rungwe. 
(3) That cotton-growing by natives was encouraged by the offers 
of Vua ginnery, Nyasaland. for seed-cotton. and by the local 
Administration. 
(4) That the Entomologist, Nyasaland, made the requisite 
observations in connection with the matter in the ordinary course of 
his duties.
