Abstract

From "1. Creation of the Division Personnel" pdf page 7:
"The creation of a Division may be said to date from two events; firstly, the acceptance by the Executive of a definite scheme or plan of research for the Division, and secondly, the appointment of a Chief to carry it into effect. Creation, however, is not a single act, but a long evolutionary effort, and so it may be said that the creation of a Division still continues as long as the research staff provided for in the original plan remains incomplete.

From this point of view, the creation of the Division of Economic Entomology began m October, 1927, with the adoption of the scheme suggested by Dr. Tillyard, and was advanced a step farther with the appointment of the latter as Chief of the Division as from 1st March, 1928, while Mr. G. F. Hill, already on the Council's staff, became Assistant Chief and Senior Entomologist for Field Pests Research. The original scheme supplied by Dr. Tillyard was published in an abbreviated form in the Journal of the Council for Scientifc and Industrial Research, Vol. I., No. 4, May, 1928. In a foreword to this Report, the Editor of the Journal made the following remark :

'It will not be possible for the Council to give immediate effect
to all Dr. Tillyard's recommendations, as the present shortage of
trained entomologists, apart altogether from financial considerations, constitutes a serious difficulty.'"

The report notes the creation of the main research sections or topics: Noxious weeds research; Sheep blowfly problem; Buffalo-fly problem; Orchard and fruit pests; Field-crop and pasture pests; and Forestry problems. It also reports on the establishment of the Museum and the Library, which included donations from W. W. Froggatt; E.W. Ferguson; W.B. Barnard; E.J. Dumigan; G.H. Hardy; and C. Hedley.
