Physician assistant (PA) programs were surveyed to determine how they were monitoring the clinical experience of their students. Results indicate that 26.7% of the 86 responding programs are using an electronic method of reporting student clinical experiences. Fifty-three percent plan to do so in the future. Only 10 programs (11.6%) found commercially available software that was suitable for monitoring clinical experiences. There is general agreement that data elements required for adequate monitoring include diagnoses, procedures, and level of student involvement. A need remains for software that will fully meet the needs of PA educators in monitoring student clinical experiences.

In a recent study[1][1] of over three thousand Cecropian cocoons collected in the Chicago area in which particular attention was given to the hymenopterous parasites of Cecropia, the writer found the principal primary parasite to be Spilocryptus extrematis Cresson. Of all the cocoons studied, 22.8 per cent were infected with this ichneumonid. It appears to confine its activities quite largely to Cecropian larvae. The only case of infection by it, observed by the writer, other than of Cecropia was the parasitization of one larva of the saturnid moth Telea polyphemus Cr. Opportunity is here taken to present very briefly some of the facts in the biology of this insect which were discovered during the study. [1]: #fn-1
