ably is identical with the species mentioned by Mr. Slingerland in a 

 bnlietin on "Cabbage-Root Maggot." Specimens were reared from 

 all three of the above mentioned plants and sent to Dr. William G. 

 Dietz, who kindly determined them for me. He says they are identi- 

 cal with the species which he has described as Geutorhynclius seri- 

 esetosus in his forth-coming revision of North American Ceutorhyn- 

 chini. I could find no trace of them at the west end of the island 

 although they were searched for in " Shepherd's Purse " and mustard. 

 An etfort was made during the month of August to determine their 

 habits throughout the fall and winter. Only a few specimens were 

 found on the ground in the old kale fields and these died in confine- 

 ment, although furnished with live cabbage plants. 



During the latter part of August the " Tomato Worm " {Phlege- 

 tliontius celeus) entirely stripped the tomato vines in many places 

 in Queens county. They were so severely attacked by parasites 

 {Ajpanteles congregatus) that it is safe to say that not over ten per 

 cent, of this brood reached maturity. A search of over two hours 

 in a field for healthy worms proved a failure. A few which did not 

 show signs of being parasitized were taken to the laboratory, but 

 they succumbed to parasites in a few days. 



Some complaints of injury to currants by the '' Imported Currant 

 Saw fly" were received. They were quite abundant the latter part 

 of May an,d where neglected, which was often the case, the currants 

 were stripped of every particle of foliage.
