 Whole Plant. — Eelworm disease, Ajjlielenclius fra.garice, 251. 



The four following infestations are j)laced under their own designations 

 (not that of any special crop) on account of their being so widely injurious. Of 

 these the Red Spider and Root-knot Eelworm are referred to, as, although not 

 insect infestations, the first-named causes much mischief to orchard leafage, 

 and from the wide distribution of the second in other countiies it may be 

 serviceable that its history should be known here. — E. A. 0. 



EARWIG, Forficula auricularia. 



Feeds on Orchard and Wall Fruit ; also on leaves and flowers. 



RED SPIDER. 



Tetranychns {Acarus) telarius, 217 ; T. rubescens, 222. — (These two 

 species infest the leafage of so many different kinds of plants, that it 

 seems unnecessary to repeat mention of them i;nder tlie usual sub- 

 ordinate headings. It may, however, be observed that the Tetranychus 

 rubescens has been especially recorded as found on I'lum, p. 223.) 



ROOT-KNOT EELWORM. 



Anguillula (Heterodera) radicicola, 227. — In galls at roots of many plants 

 and some orchard trees on the Continent of Europe and in America ; 

 but as yet only known at roots of Cucumbers and Tomatoes in this 

 countrv.
