-'-Gentlemen: — Since my last report to you on the 4th 

 inst., sixteen steamships and sailing vessels arrived in port from 

 outside the Territory, having on board 2,709 packages of fruits 

 and vegetables and five cases of plants. Twelve packages of mail 

 material were exarfiined. One hundred and forty (140) boxes 

 of apples infested with scale insects were returned to California 

 and six crates of celery was burned as it was attacked by ''cut 

 worms." • 



-" Ten shipments of oranges (50 cases) from China were de- 

 stroyed by fire as they were found infested with scale insects and 

 several of the lots with a new species of fungus disease, a sample 

 of which I submitted to Dr. N. A. Cobb, the pathologist of the 

 Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, who stated that it was 

 new to him and was a good thing to keep out. He will make a 

 thorough examination when he has an opportunity and report 

 later. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Alexander Craw, 

 Supt. of Entomology and Inspector.
