 deal of damage, and Eriophijes ribis infested currants. Strawberries 

 were attacked by Bhniulus quUulatus, Julus londiniensis, Tarsoneinus 

 frafjariae, Aphrophora {Philaemis) spmnaria and Anthonomus rubi. 



Miscellaneous garden pests included : — Typhlocyba rosae on roses, 

 Heliofhrips haemorrhoidalis on azalea in hot-houses, Eriocampoides 

 aelhiops defoliating roses, Tcnirix bergmannia,na in orchards, and the 

 larva of the Arctiid, Diacrisia lubricipeda [Spilosoma menihrastri), on 

 pansies. The larva of the Noctuid, Trigonophora {Brotolomia) 

 ineticulosa has injured cultivated daisies for several years in many 

 localities, and this appears to be the first record of this insect as a pest. 



Household x^ests included :—Dermesfes lanlarius, Ptinus fi/r, Sifo- 

 drepa 2'>0'nicea, very common in hard rye-bread kept in store as war 

 provisions in private houses in Christiania, Tribolimn confusum, intro- 

 duced with flour from North America, and Tribolium caslaneum {ferru- 

 ginewn). A cargo of rice from Calcutta was seriously infested with 

 T. caslaneum, Silvanus surinamensis and Calandra oryzae. Pyralis 

 farinalis and Tinea granella also occurred in stored cereals. On 

 account of the great quantities of flour kept in store all over the 

 countr}^ owing to the war, flour mites increased very considerably, the 

 species concerned being : Alenrohius farinae, Glyciphagus spimpes 

 and Tyroglyphts longior. Anobiiini sfriatum damaged furniture and 

 old books : CciUidiKm violaceum was very common in a brewery ; 

 while Tirtea pellionella occurred in furs and stuffed furniture, and 

 T. fuscipimctelh in bedding.

The adult larvae of Dendrolimus pini were found in Skjaerhalden, 

 Hvaler, in the end of May, but not in sufficient numbers to be of serious 

 importance. Bupcdus pimarius was reported to be numerous in the 

 pine forests on the western side of Kirk Island, but no important 

 damage by the larvae was noticed. Cydia {GrophoUtha) slrobilella was 

 reported from Lillehammer, and Dioryctria abietella was found in the 

 cones of spruce trees at Askim and in the cones of larch trees at 

 Kristiania. Rhyacionia (Retinia) tnrionana injured the pine trees at 

 Bygland in Saetersdalen, many terminal buds, especially of young 

 trees, being excavated by the larvae. This is the first record of this 

 moth as injurious in Norway, it previously having been considered to 

 be very rare. As the damage caused by this species greatly resembles 

 that caused by R. buoliana, it is suggested that there has been a 

 confusion between the two species. The larva of Pkyllopertha horticoh 

 during the summer and autumn injured spruce, pine and larch in a 

 nursery near Trondhjem. Lophyrus pini was recorded from various 

 localities and one plantation of 10-year-old trees was all but defoliated 

 by it. Lophyrus rufus was reported from Forde in Sondhordland. 

 Chermes pini, which did great damage in 1913 in the western part of the 

 country, also occurred in several localities in pine plantations. Near 

 Kristiania, where young ornamental pine trees of different species
