Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, visited Europe in 1905, and enlisted the aid of many entomologists there in collecting and sending material to the laboratory in the infested section of Massachusetts. Either Dr. Howard or an assistant traveled abroad on this work each summer until 1910, and as a result thousands of packages of parasitized material were received from all the countries where the gypsy and brown-tail moths are found. The parasites were reared and studied in captivity and the primary parasites separated from the secondary and hyperparasites. Colonies were afterward liberated.
