This paper is now open for discussion, and in the first place I should 

 like to say that we are considerably indebted to Mr. Anstead for giving 

 us this summary of the insect pests which he has come across in the 

 Planting Districts of South India during the last two years. 



In speaking of Pseiidococcus citri he mentions a loss of feeding-roots 

 of young cofEee-plants as due to this scale which is also described as eating 

 into the bark. As this scale is a sucking insect, it could not eat away 

 the roots or eat into the bark, and this type of injury is presumably due 

 to cockchafer grubs.
