cases of oranges from China and'as they are from a district sub- 

 ject to "fruit flies" and exchided from the Territory of Hawaii by 

 your Rules and Regulations, of October 25, 1904, we destroyed 

 them, also the cases by burning. 



In my report to you of January 17th I referred to the destruc- 

 tion by fire of fifty (50) cases of oranges from China ex S. S. 

 '^Siberia," January 5th, infested with a new fungus, a sample of 

 v/hich I submitted to Dr. N. A. Cobb, Pathologist of the Ha- 

 waiian Sugar Planters' Association. He stated "that it was 

 new to him" and "a good thing to keep out." Dr. Cobb wa^', 

 called to the Island of Hawaii to investigate some matters there, 

 so has not yet had an opportunity to report upon the Chinese 

 orange fungus. 



On January 27th ex S. S. "Nebraskan" a package arrived per 

 mail containing two lemon trees from Florida infested with 

 "white wax scale" (Ceroplastes iiorideiisis). The owner was 

 called to see their condition, after which the trees were burned. 

 Another package by same mail contained a plant of a new salvia 

 upon which I found the scale Orthczia insigiiis. This is the 

 same insect that made its appearance on the lantana on the 

 Island of Maui and afterwards distributed over that and other 

 Islands by the stock men to destroy that plant. The salvia was 

 burned and an official notice sent to the owner. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Alexander Craw, 

 Supt. of Entomology and Inspector.
