We now have definite proof of the establishment of the melon 

 fly parasite in Kona on the Island of Hawaii, parasites having 

 been bred from infested wild morordicas brought in by Mr. 

 Pemberton. The parasite has also been recovered several times 

 in Honolulu from infested cucurbitaceous fruits. 



Very respectfully, 



D. T. FULLAWAY, 



Entomologist.
