 Mr. J. F, Wielandy sent this species, reporting it to be doing exten- 

 sive damage to his hot beds by issuing in immense numbers from the 

 compost in the beds, thus throwing out the newly-sprouted seedlings, 

 roots and all. Destroyed three-fourths of his young plants. He 

 reports that " thousands upon thousands " issued. The layer of com- 

 post consisted of old rotten manure mixed with earth, and was put 

 on top of the beds. Beneath this was a three-foot layer of fresh 

 dung to furnish heat. The injury was done by the mere mechanical 

 force of the issuing of the insects.
