(79) Angoumois Grain Moth (Gelechia cerealella Ol.).—This species, as already 
stated in my report to Mr. Buchanan, was very generally distributed about the grain 
exhibits in various buildings, and was, in fact, flying about all over the grounds. 
A rather full account of this species will be found inmy Annnal Report for 1884 and 
another in the preceding volume of INSECT LIFE (vol. Vv, pp. 325-328). 
Four moths in such condition as to render identification doubtful were found as 
follows: ‘ 
(80) From Acacia pods in Costa Rica Building. 
(81) From leguminous pods from Paraguay. 
(82) In case containing products from New Caledonia. 
(83) Injuring yeast cakes in exhibit of Johore. 
Among other products damaged by moths the following may be mentioned: 
Beans from Paraguay; currants from Greece; velvet-seeds from Jamaica;* locust 
beans from Algeria, and various nuts and seeds in other exhibits. 
It might be added here, as an interesting entomological fact, that the Army Worm 
(Leucania wunipuncta) was found in some cereal from Mexico, living specimens Bea 
ing out in one of the cases in their section, 
OTHER ORDERS. 
(84) Anthomyiid. 
(85) Anthomyiid (?).

ian exhibit.

in the Mexican exhibit.

zil and Mexico. 
(92) Gamasus sp.—A minute mite in Mexican corn exhibit. 
(93) Gamasus sp.—With the preceding. 
None of the last seven mentioned are of any great economic inportance, save the 
cockroach, which is already widely distributed.

(94) Pteromalus we y.—Parasi Petar Teevil (C ; ryzce). Ini 
Mexican exhibit. — 
(95) Catolaccus sp.—On sack of corn in Mexican exhibit.

under the title ‘‘Some Jamaican insects,” among the general notes.
