Dr. Richard Milner of the C.S.I.R.O., Armidale, N.S.W., reviewed the subject of "Insect Pathogens." TIE role of pathqens, particvlarly viruses in integrated control systems where sanewhat l m levels of mortality are tolerable,attracted considerable discussion. Dr. Milner r e f e d to the problan of the sbrtage of trained insect pathologists in Australia. Dr. Pinnock will be helping to tackle this problan during his sabbatical leave in Australia by conducting a residential course on insect pathogens at t4mash University, Victoria, later this year, and possibly at Queensland University early next year. - The diverse program included topics conwith entnmlcgy, erdocrinology, genetics, plant pathology and virology.

CORRECTION The address given in the Newsletter VII:2, March 1975, for registration and housing information for members outside the U.S. was incorrect.

Enclosed in this Newsletter are registration and housing forms for foreign members. U.S. members who have not received these forms by mail from AIBS will find them in BioScience, March 1975, 11,889-192.

NEW DIVISION Because of the increasing interest (as evidenced by the large .mmber of papers at this year's annual meeting) in paxhological phenomena and cellular responses of non-insect invertebrates, it seems appropriate to consider forming a Division of the Society that is concerned with shellfish-molluscs and crustaceans cellular defense mechanisms and cellular proliferation. Therefore, Dr. Mix is calling a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, August 20, 1975, for those interested in forming such a Division. For those who are interested but will be unable to attend the meeting in Corvallis, please feel free to write or call Dr. Mix who will relay suggestions and comnents to those attending the meeting. A variety of lesions i n mllusks are to be r e v i d and discussed, f o l l d by a similar treatmmt of neoplasm and related disorders i n hoth mllusks and oCher animals. It is b p d that the conparative approach to be used in the m r k s b p w i l l further the understanding of neoplastic lesions in mllusks and also help clarify problems mncernitag their c l a s s i f i c a t i m and raanwclature.

The Workshop will cover a broad distribution of microsporida, but will emphasize the lesser-known n;crosporidan genera. Students engaged in microsporidan research are encouraged to participate.
