Beeson (C. F. C.) . Death of Chir in Almora. — Ind. Forester, Allahabad, 

 xlviii, no. 6, June 1922, pp. 342-343. 



In commenting on a previous paper on the relative importance of 

 fungi and insects in the death of young chir poles {Pinus longifolia) 

 [R.A.E., A, X, 389], the author agrees that the most important insects 

 associated with the disease are Cryptorrhynchus brandisi, Polygraphus 

 spp., and a bark caterpiflar. Under Polygraphus longifolia, Steb., 

 several species are included, the identity of which is doubtful owing to 

 the confusion created in this genus by Stebbing's work. In trees 

 kifled hy Per idermium, the author has seen P. longifolia, Steb., P. hima- 

 layensis, Steb., and new species of Polygraphus and Carphoborus, but 

 not P. major, Steb., P. niger, Steb. {aterrimus , Stroh.), or P. pint, 

 Steb. The evidence is now sufficient to show that the bark-borers of 

 Pinus longifolia should be regarded as secondary pests under normal 

 conditions, although under epidemic conditions certain species, such 

 as Ips longifolia, Steb., may assume the status of primary ones assigned 

 to them by Stebbing.

 in which they occur.

The small leaf-skeletoniser, Hemerophila {Simaethis) pariana, Clerck, 

 has recently been found in apple orchards in Hokkaido and Aomori. 

 The author has reared it and has studied the habits and the whole 

 course of the life-history of this moth. There are three generations
