 destructive midge has made further inroads iuto Ontario. It is now present in 

 six laroe greenhouses: three in Toronto, one at Grimsl)v, one at Port Dover, and

Tja'MPET Vine Midge {Ilonida iecomiae). During the past two years 

 trumpet vines at Guelph have been seriously injured by a white cecidomyiid lar\a 

 which curls and distorts the leaves. Badly infested leaves turn brown and die 

 and in this way much of the young growth may be destroyed. We reared the ad nil. 

 and the species was determined ])y Dr. E. P. Felt, as Ifonida iecomiae Felt.
