 and adult of which bore into sweet potato chips; the sweet potato leaf-folder 

 (Pilocrocis tripunctata) , noted by Jones (E. S. R., 3S, p. 465), which occasion- 

 ally becomes destructive in Jamaica; the yam scale (Aspidiotus luirtii); the 

 pineapple weevil (Mctamosius ritchiei), which injured a large percentage of the 

 crop in Above Rocks ; etc. The results of extensive rearings during the year 

 indicate that the Mediterranean fruit fly does not at present exist in Jamaica.
