9. That much more work should be done by Fntomologists in 
regard to the Pheidole ant, and that the question of baits and the

of great importance in Kenya, it was recommended that a thorough 
investigation should be undertaken in Kenya.

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.

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 
considered to be of economic importance. 
14. That a study should be made of the insecticidal properties of
