DUTCH INSrECliON SERVICE 



We have at hand a recent communication from Dr. J. Ritzema Bos of the Phy- 

 topathological Service of Holland, calling attention to minor changes in the cer- 

 tificates from the form published in the February issue of the Journ.'Vl, pages 85-86. 



The modifications in the certificate are mostly in a transposition of the data re- 

 lating to destination and contents. The copy certificate is modified to contain a 

 specific provision against infestation by the brown-tail moth, and provision is also 

 made for numbering and the Service stamp.. 



Dr. Bos, in his communication, states that every consignment from Holland must 

 be piovided with a certificate, both stamped and numbered, adding that the Dutch 

 Inspection Service must not be held responsible for shipments not accompanied by 

 these certificates. He would also esteem it a favor if parties receiving from Holland 

 nursery stock, which had not been mspected, would notify him in regard to the 

 same. 



GUSY MOTH 



A small colony, apparently of about three years' standing, and practically con- 

 fined to a city block, was discovered recently at Geneva, N. Y. No expense is 

 being spared and an early extermination of this out -lying colony may be expected. 

 Similar infe.stations maj^ develop elsewhere, and the probabihty of .such occurrences 

 emphasizes the need of careful inspection.
