120 GYPSY AND BROWN-TAIL MOTHS. [Jan. 



with a little dry sphagnum moss. In all cases the specimens 

 packed in wood came through in the best condition. The 

 following is a list of material, by countries : 



Japan. 



1. Received June 28, 1905, from the Rev. H. A. Loomis, 

 Yokohama, a small wooden box, containing: 11 small dip- 

 terous pupaa ; 15 medium lepidopterous pupae. No flies 

 have emerged as yet. 



2. Received July 5, 1905, from Prof. S. V. Kuwana, Im- 

 perial Japanese Department of Agriculture, Tokio, through 

 the Hon. Lloyd C. Griscom, American minister, a large 

 wooden case with wire gauze sides, containing a small tree 

 on which had been placed a number of infested gypsy moth 

 caterpillars. Another case of small elms was shipped with 

 the insects, and they were thus supplied with fresh food 

 from time to time as far as Honolulu. Most unfortunately 

 the case shrunk somewhat in transit, and nearly all the para- 

 sites emerged and escaped en route. The net results were : 

 75 empty Apanteles cocoons ; 2 living Tachinids, died 

 without laying ; 1 living gypsy moth larva, not parasitized ; 

 20 dead gypsy moth larvte and pupas, not parasitized ; 34 

 living gypsy moth pupae, not parasitized ; 2 living gypsy 

 moth imagoes ; 1 lepidopterous cocoon, Tortricid ; 1 lepi- 

 dopterous pupa ; 1 case of Coleophora ( ?) ; 7 cocoons of 

 Bucculatrix ( ?) ; several Chrysomelids and fungous gnats. 

 The case and the gypsy moths which were removed were 

 kept under observation for several weeks, but no parasites 

 developed ; material still on hand.
