to which the name N. podocarpi is given, is here described in its various- 

 forms from Tokyo, Japan. The species is rather inactive in habit. 

 Both winged and wingless forms appear in May and later, in the second 

 and subsequent generations. The sexuparae are wingless but the 

 oviparous female as well as the male is winged, these forms appearing 

 during September. As is frequently the case among Siphonophorina, 

 wingless viviparous females may give birth to both winged and wingless 

 progeny, but winged females produce only wingless forms. 



Greenidea kuwanae, Perg., Trichosiphum temiicorpus, Okag., and 

 Cervaphis quercus, Tak., resemble N. podocarpi in that the oviparous 

 females are winged.

This popular bulletin has been written to replace one published 

 several years ago, siace when the damage done to wheat by the Angou- 

 mois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella, has become more serious and has 

 spread to new areas [R.A.E., A, vii, 543]. The life-history and 

 habits of the moth are described and recommendations given for its 

 control [loc. cit.. vi, 202].

Cutworms are very troublesome pests of tobacco in Victoria. The 

 poison-bait recomLmended for them consists of 1 lb. Paris green or 

 arsenic to 50 lb. bran, with sufficient water and molasses to moisten 

 it. Another pest of the growing crop is the caterpillar of a Sphingid 

 moth, which may attack the plants at all times from transplantation 

 up to harvest. The remedies suggested are hand-collection and the 

 use of a spray consisting of 1 lb. Paris green to 200 gals, of water, 

 applied as a fine mist. 'J'he young, tender leaves ia the centre of the 

 plant should be thoroughly sprayed as soon as the caterpillars appear.
