B. C. ENTOMOLOGICAL PROCEEDINGS, 1912. 55 



Section 7: "No person, persons, firm or corporation shall bring 

 or cause to be brought into the State of California any injurious animals 

 known as English or Australian wild rabbit, flying fox, mongoose or any 

 other animal or animals detrimental to horticultural or agricultural 

 interests." 



Section 8 : "Any person, persons, firm or corporation violating 

 any of the provisions of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and 

 shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not 

 exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, 

 or by both such fine and imprisonment." 



Acting under authority of this Law, the State of California has 

 quarantined the States of Florida, North and South Carolina, Georgia, 

 Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, or any other section known 

 to harbor either of the " Aleyrodes citri" or "Aleyrodes nubifera." 



"Quarantine Order No. 15. — August 30, 1912." 



Whereas^ a quarantine order, No. 1, issued March 6, 1906, was 

 declared against the Citrus White Fly {Aleyrodes citri) from the 

 States of Florida and Louisiana, and only from these states, and, 



Whereas, we have information from the entomologists of the 

 United States Agricultural Experiment stations of the South Atlantic 

 and Gulf States that this same White Fly {Aleyrodes citri) is widely 

 distributed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, 

 Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas; and, 



Where.as, it has been received into California on nursery stock 

 from North Carolina and Mississippi, and. 



Whereas, another species of the White Fly {Aleyrodes nubifera) is 

 present in Florida, and, 



Where.'\s, both of these White Flies are serious pests, being 

 regarded in Florida as second to none in their injurious work on citrus 

 and other trees, and. 



Whereas, there is great danger of introducing "Aleyrodes citri" 

 into the citrus groves of California on plants or nursery stock from 

 each of the states aforesaid at the present time ; and. 



Whereas, there is danger of said "Aleyrodes nubifera" being intro- 

 duced into California from Florida, and into the South Atlantic and 

 Gulf States from Florida, and from thence into California, therefore it is 



Declared: That a horticultural quarantine be and is hereby 

 established against fruits and vegetables (excepting tomatoes), nursery 

 stocks, scions, grafts, buds, cuttings, fruit pits, orange seeds, trees, vines,
