As usual, large quanties of Opius humilis were liberated from 

 the insectary bred from fruits collected in various sections. We 

 have been able to recover from fruits collected in the field small 

 quantities of Diachasma fullaicayi and Tetrastichus giffardii. 

 We are now placing fruits from many localities where the various 

 parasites have been liberated for the purpose of getting the per- 

 centage of parasitism existing in such places.
