3 gallons of water for use. The working proportion is therefore 1 lb. 

 of arsenic, 4 lb. of soda, 5 lb. of lime in 180 gallons. Resides being 

 very effective against Hyponomenta malinellus, orchards sprayed with 

 this liquid have been less affected by the fungi, Fusicladium, and 

 Monilia fructigena, Pers.

The control of aphids and red spider in green-houses by fumigating 

 with tobacco and sulphur, requires careful handling, as otherwise the 

 fumes of the burning sulphur may cause serious damage to the plants. 

 In order to safeguard against this, after fumigation with tobacco 

 has produced a sufficient amount of smoke, a brazier on which some 

 sulphur, in small lumps of the size of a pea, is burning, is carried 

 through the green-house, constantly fanning the fumes the while. 

 For each fumigation, about | of a teaspoon of sulphur dropped into 

 the brazier is sufficient. Having been carried once or twice round the 

 house, the sulphur is left to burn out, as far as possible from any 

 plants. By this procedure good results were always obtained without 

 damage to the plants.

The author's observations, conducted in 1913, again confirm that 

 the adults of Myelophilus minor and M. piniperda, after ovipositing 

 in spring, eat into the shoots of pines. Thus the shoots are damaged by 

 the beetles twice, after emergence before hibernation and again after 

 oviposition and hibernation. The barking of infested and trap trees 

 before oviposition is finished, is therefore recommended.

The following information is given witii regard to forest pests in 

 the governments of Kiev and Podolia :— The larvae of Melolontha 

 melolontha damage the roots of all kinds of trees, but mostly of 2 or 3 

 years old pine, causing great damage in nurseries. The foresters 

 combat this pest by collecting the adult beetles ; thus, in the Staro- 

 Petrovsky Forestry of Kiev about 14 hundredweight of beetles 

 were collected in six days. Measures against Dendrolinvu^ {Gastro- 

 pacha) pini include the collection of the wintering caterpillars, the
