Abstract: "THE Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, is now supporting the project known as "Insects of Micronesia" which was hitherto carried on by the Pacific Science Board of the United States National Research Council with funds from tho Office of Naval Research of the United States Navy; the National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C., has made a grant of 15,200 dollars to the Bishop Museum to help in continuing the work for the next eighteen months. The project is under the direction of J. Linsley Gressitt, and the results will be published by the Museum as a special series. About four hundred thousand specimens have been assembled from Micronesia, and these are being studied by more than a hundred specialists representing some fifty institutions in a dozen countries. J. F. Gatos Clarke, N. L. H. Krauss and Dr. Gressitt have been completing the field-work in the Caroline Islands during 1952-53 under a contract by the Office of Naval Research."
