On May 21, a consignment of parasites of the fern weevil (Syagrius 

 fulvitarsis) was received from Mr. C. E. Pemberton, assistant entomologist 

 on the staff of the H. S. P. A. Experiment Station, who is at present 

 engaged in field work in Australia. These parasites were collected in the 

 forest at Nimbin, N. S. W., in the locality where Syagrius fulvitarsis was 

 first taken nearly half a century previous. The parasites came in excel- 

 lent condition. A few have been retained for trial at rearing in cages; 

 the remainder have been liberated under very auspicious circumstances in 

 Tantalus. Mr, Pemberton 's advices, accompanying the shii^ment, give 

 confidence in the effectiveness of the parasite, and it is hoped that the 

 individuals turned out will multiply and establish the species in these 

 Islands.
