 to this cherry fruit-fly. They are the only records known to us of the occurrence 

 of fruit-fly maggots in cherries in the American literature.

 in fruit of a black cherry tree imported from Prussia; apparently did

 Europe. Did not breed the adults.

but does occur in haws. Cherry and plums were badly infested.
