This paper is open to discussion. It is unfortunate that Mr. Shroff 

 has not been able to attend this Meeting, although we are indebted to 

 him for sending us these lists of insect pests in Burma. The only remark 

 I have to offer is that perhaps not too much reliance should be placed 

 on the exact identification of some of the insects listed here. The name 

 Dasychira fasciformis, for example, is based on an error in copying the 

 name fiisiformis, which is probably the same as D. mendosa. The names 

 of the Meloid beetles also require check.
