shining black, while the head is dull yellow and the legs 

 are honey-yellow. * * * * Mr. Walsh states that the 

 larva is a pale grass-green worm, half an inch long, with a 

 black head, which becomes green after the last moult, but 

 with a lateral brown stripe meeting with the opposite one 

 on the top of the head, where it is more or less confluent, 

 and a central brown black spot on its face. It appears the 

 last of June and early in July, and a second brood in 

 August. They spin their cocoons on the bushes on which 

 they feed, and the fly appears in two or three weeks, the 

 specimens reared by him flying on the 26th of August. 

 This worm may at once be distinguished from the imported 

 currant worm by the absence of the minute black warts 

 that cover the body of the latter. The same remedies 

 should be used for this worm as are recommended for the 

 preceding insect.
