To conclude, I will say that the danger of infection of the United 

 States orchards does not appear to me as formidable as it has been 

 claimed to be, owing to the difference in the climate, since it is a ques- 

 tion of a tropical insect, and besides, though for the last 24 years 

 worm infested oranges have been introduced into the United States, 

 yet it is not known that the pest has appeared in any Florida or 

 California orchard. Since 1884, the orange worm has been imported 

 with the fruits proceeding from Mexico, and sold at New Orleans 

 (Riley. "Insect Life," t. I, p. 45), a seaport which is not far away 

 from the Florida orange groves. 



Places in Mexico v^here oranges are produced abundantly, and 

 are not infested by the Trypeta ludens. — Sonora, Aguascalientes, 

 Chihuahua, Colima, Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas. 

 ]\rost particularly, the orange from Autlan, Guarachita, Rio .Yerde, 

 is never affected by the worm. It is but just, therefore, that not all 

 of the oranges from Mexico be prohibited, rejected or subjected to 

 examination. The Sonora and Jalisco fruit is extensively exported 

 to the United States and this fruit is never wormy.
