Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit my report of the work 

 performed by the Division of Entomology for the month of July. 

 1915, as follows: 



During the month 58 vessels arrived at the port of Honolulu, 

 of which 20 carried vegetable matter. Of these vessels 12 

 passed through the Panama Canal. 



Disposition. Lot. Parcels. 



Passed as free from pests 1007 19,117 



Fumigated 3 861 



Burned 24 24 



Total inspected 1034 20.002 



Of these shipments 19,868 packages arrived as freight, 47 

 packages as mail matter, and 87 packages as baggage of passen- 

 gers and immigrants. 



Rice and Bean Shipments. 



During the month 38,708 bags of Japanese rice, 400 bags ot 

 Chinese rice and 2494 bags of beans arrived from the Orient. 

 After thoroughly inspecting these shipments they were found 

 free from rice, bean and grain pests and were allowed entry. 



Pests Intercepted. 



Twenty-one packages of fruit and one package of vegetables 

 were taken from the baggage of passengers and immigrants from 

 foreign countries and destroyed by burning. One lot of coco- 

 nuts from Manila was treated with fumigation on account of 

 being infested with scale insects (.Ispidiotns destructor). Also 

 36 bags of coconuts arriving from Central America were fmr.i- 

 gated as a precautionary measure. The soil was removed from 

 a pot plant from Japan in which we found an ants' nest. A pack- 

 age of gladiolus bulbs had to be fumigaterl before delixcry on 

 account of aphis infestation.
