  bisulphide 
  of 
  carbon 
  may 
  be 
  injected 
  into 
  

   the

  the

  the 
  larva 
  bores 
  into 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  clematis, 
  and 
  will 
  occur 
  

   wherever 
  this 
  plant 
  grows. 
  Mr. 
  Engelhardt 
  found 
  it 
  common 
  at 
  

   Bayonne 
  a 
  few 
  years

  less

  The

  bores 
  in

  and 
  Mr. 
  Gross-

  has 
  found 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  galls 
  made 
  by 
  "Saperda 
  concolor." 
  Mr. 
  

   Engelhardt 
  has 
  seen 
  the 
  workings 
  of 
  the 
  larva 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey 
  and 
  

   thinks 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  almost 
  anywhere 
  if 
  properly 
  sought 
  for.

  the

  This 
  species 
  is 
  injurious 
  in 
  Virginia, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Engelhardt 
  has 
  

   found 
  its 
  work 
  quite 
  plentiful 
  in 
  an 
  old 
  vinyard 
  at 
  Lakehurst. 
  It 
  

   has 
  not 
  been
