In an article by Mr. Garman, on '^ Injuries by f*lant Mites," read be- 

 fore the meeting of the Central Illinois Horticultural Society and pub- 

 lished in the Prairie Farmer of June 26, 1886, the observations in Forbes's 

 report were repeated and the further statement was made that still 

 another Bryobia damages the plum trees in the Pacific coast region. 

 We have not, however, as already intimated, been able to find any 

 characters to separate the mites obtained from California, Oregon, and 

 Montana from those received from Central and Eastern States.
