 circumstance that the Calandrie are never found in corn-fields, but 

 always about granaries, is sufficient to show that it is not whilst the 

 wheat is in flower that the eggs are deposited, as suggested by Mr. 

 MiUs. He also read an account of some experiments lately made 

 by M . Keferstein, relative to this insect, inserted in Silbermann's 

 ' Revue Entomologique,' in which it was likewise stated that the eggs 

 are deposited at one end of the grain. 



Mr. Sells stated that the Rice Weevil (Calandra Oryzce) was ex- 

 ceedingly abundant in the stores in the West Indies, destroying great 

 quantities of Indian corn and rice, and that to prevent its attacks it 

 was necessary and customary to expose the grain to the sun, and to 

 winnow it frequently.
