ture and nutriment of the sugar solution, may penetrate the body of the 

 bug before the heat of the morning sun can prevent it. 



When once established inside the body of a bug, the death of the bug 

 would be pretty certain to result, whatever the conditions of the weather. 

 Plate III, figure 1, and plate IV, figures 1 and 2, show the appearance of the 

 fungus within the bug's body. 



Preparations are now being made to carry out field experiments along 

 this line on a large scale. 



These preliminary experiments are given here as possibly useful sugges- 

 tions to other experimenters. 



II. REPORTS FROM SUB-STATIONS. 



As mentioned before, each agent in charge of a sub-station was required 

 to visit the central station before starting his infection boxes. He was re- 

 quired to report at various intervals the condition of his station, and occa- 

 sionally was called upon for samples of the infection he was furnishing 

 from his boxes. In this way, a check was kept upon the substation agents 

 which proved of great benefit to the country in which the station was con- 

 ducted. The following were the stations established during the past season, 

 and the agents thereat :
