The pickle worm or cucumber worm (Diaphania nitidalis), H. Gasman 

 (Kentucky Sta. Dept. Ent. and Bot. Circ. 3 (1915), pp. 7, figs. 5).— This insect 

 has been the source of considerable injury in Kentucky during the past three 

 or four years, particularly to cantaloups and cucumbers. The injury com- 

 mences about the middle of July and is at its height during August and early 

 September. Several broods which overlap develop during this period. Treat- 

 ment consists in rotation, the gathering and destruction of badly infested fruit, 

 and plowing and harrowing immediately after the removal of the crop. Spray- 

 ing with arsenicals may at times be employed to advantage but should be 

 practiced with care.

 " pigeons at the places and the times indicated are very heavily infected with 

 Hfemoproteus ; no other blood parasites were found. Lynchia flies associated 

 with these pigeons are also very heavily infected with the sexual stages of 

 a parasite analogous to Proteosoma and the malarial parasite. Where flies are
