Separate lists of pests of beet [see this Review, Series A, iii, p. 541] and 

 of mustard [see this Review, Series A, iii, p. 398] are also given. A 

 list of reports dealing with insect pests in 1914 is appended, the 

 majority of which have already been abstracted [see this Revieiv, 

 Series A, ii, p. 712, iii, 41, 93, 98 (two papers), 105, 203, 309, 339, 395,

The author advises that remedies against Aporia crataegi should be 

 directed against the adults rather than against the early stages, as 

 these frequently involve the destruction of their parasites. The food- 

 plants of this pest include many fruit and forest trees, such as plum, 

 cherry, apple, pear, apricot, medlar, marsh elder {Viburnum opulus), 

 service tree, bird cherry, sloe and many others. This butterfly is 

 spread all over Europe and also occurs in Caucasia, Turkestan and 

 Siberia. Outbreaks of it frequently occur in Russia, one of the 

 earliest known being that recorded by Pallas in 1769 on the 

 Volga. Some birds, especially sparrows, destroy this insect, and it 

 has numerous Hymenopterous parasites, including the Ichneumonids, 

 Theronia flavicans, F., Pimpla rufata, Gr., P. varicornis, Gr., 

 P. instigator, F., and the Braconids, Apanteles glomeratus, L., and 

 A. spurius, Wesm., which attack either the caterpillars or pupae, while 

 the author has also bred a Hymenopterous parasite from the eggs.
