West Africa is a true fruitfly parasite, and while on account of 

 its slow development and low rate of parasitism it has been im- 

 possible to secure numbers large enough to warrant liberation 

 in the open, it is felt that later on when our attention can be 

 given exclusively to this insect, it will be possible to multiply it in 

 large numbers, and everything going w^ell, to get it established. 

 While it evidently is a slow worker its attachment to the fruitfly 

 alone makes it, in the writer's opinion, an extremely valuable 

 parasite, and one that ought b}- all means to be established here if 

 possible. 



Very truly yours, 



David T. Fullaway.
