 the journey. In one instance it was found that twenty-eight lady- 

 birds had survived the journey ; they arrived in December, but at 

 the end of the winter only two were still alive. On examination 

 these proved to be both females, so obviously not much in the 

 way of reproduction could be expected. The whole account is 

 deeply interesting ; and it is to be hoped that sooner or later the 

 attempt will receive the reward it merits, even if the result should 

 be an extermination of the little Aleuiodes fly.
