III. The Borers. 



The following is the list of the borers so far observed. They are 

 •grouped according to the Orders and Families. Most of them are not 

 identified. In the case of those which are taken as identified there is a 

 confusion in the names, especially of the species of Chilo and Diatroea. 

 Therefore all the insects are referred to under the number in the Insectary 

 Eegister of Cage Slips. When names are used they should be taken as 

 those under which the insects have been known up to this time.
