the localities where Malacoso7na (Lasiocampa) neustria, L., and 

 Lymantria (Ocneria) dispar, L., were prevalent, they also invaded 

 orchards. 



Forest-pests : large outbreaks of L. dispar occurred, being 

 usually accompanied by M. neustria, L. ; oaks were injured by 

 Tischeria complanella, Hb., and by caterpillars of an unidentified 

 moth. The following Orthoptera are also recorded : Podisma 

 {Pezotettix) pedestris, Burm., Arcyptera {Stethophyma) flavicosia, Fish., 

 Psophus strididus, L. and CaUiptamus {Caloptenus) italicus, L., but

In February, it is necessary to clean the bark of fruit trees and 

 burn the old bark, in which various j^ests, such as Cydia ])omo7ieUa, 

 CuRCULiONiDAE, etc, winter. The nests and eggs of Lymnyitria dispar, 

 Aporia crataegi, Euprodis chrysorrJwea and Molocosoma neustria must be 

 removed and the trees smeared with carbolic emulsion against scale- 

 insects. In March, all trees must be sprayed with a solution of 10 lb. 

 of lime and 10 lb. of iron sulphate in 27 gallons of water, and in locaU- 

 lies where Bhynchites pauxiUus, Germ., is an active pest, two parts 

 of clay must be added for every part, of lime.

 Complaints have been made in England as to the low quality of 

 dried peas exported from Russia, which is attributed to infestation 

 with Bruchns pisorum, L. {pisi, L.). A short account of the life- 

 history of this pest is given, with remedies for it. It winters as 

 an adult, which emerges early in spring. Oviposition takes place on 

 the pods and the young larvae live inside the peas, pupate there, and 

 produce adults in autumn. When the temperature in the stores, 

 w^here the peas are kept, is low, the beetles remain inside them over 

 the winter. The cultivation of marrow-fat peas, an immune variety, 

 is advised. Peas should be sown in two periods, the first one being 

 a trap-crop, which is mo^\^n do\\ii and used as fodder for cattle when 

 half-grown. Peas for sowing, must be disinfected with carbon- 

 bisulphide, about 1 lb. to every ton or ton and a half of peas.
