The Board of Agriculture and Forestry passed a resokition in Septem- 

 ber 1920 that the introduction of fig wasps be allowed for the fertilisa- 

 tion of the " seed of certain species of Ficns," these trees being 

 suitable for purposes of reforestation. 



The author asked the Board to limit the introduction of these wasps 

 to those which only fertilise the following species : — Ficns benjamina 

 (Benjamin fig), F. elastica (Indian caoutchouc), F. macrophylla 

 (Moreton Bay fig), F. religiosa (peepul tree), and F. retusa (Chinese 

 banj^an). Also that the Entomologist should be instructed to study 

 the habits of these wasps before sending material to Hawaiian ter- 

 ritory. 



The Board accordingly passed a motion confirming these recom- 

 mendations in March 1921.
