ing the eleventh making only occasional mention of previously ascer- 
tained facts. In the latter report, two of the special enemies 
of the strawberry were discussed at length. 
The first article which I have seen containing an attempt to 
summarize what was known of the strawberry insects, 1s by William 
Saunders, of London, Ontario; and was published in the Third Re- 
port of the Ontario Entomological Society, for 18/2. This includes 
eleven species; and in the same publication for the following year, 
a supplementary article was printed, adding one more. 
In the 20th annual report of the Massachusetts State Board of 
Agriculture, published in 1873, Dr. A. S. Packard, Jr., discusses at 
length the injuries done to the strawberry by the common white 
grub and by the larva of Cotalpa, and also mentions small snails 
as enemies of the plant. This paper was reprinted, during the same 
year, in the ‘“‘American Naturalist” (September, pp. 524 to 548). 
In 1875, a few species were treated under this especial head, in 
a report on economic entomology by Dr. Packard, published, in the 
Report of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of 
the Territories for 1875. 
Prof. G. H. Perkins, in 1877, summarized the known facts relat- 
ing to fifteen species, in a paper on Injurious Insects, published in 
the Report of the Vermont State Board of Agriculture; and to this 
list the present writer added ten species, in an address on Insects 
Affecting the Strawberry, delivered at New Orleans before the Mis- 
sissippi Valley Horticultural Society, in 1883, and published in the 
transactions of the society for that year. 
Besides the above, the strawberry pests have been briefly dis- 
cussed by Miss Treat, in a little work on Injurious Insects of the 
Farm and Garden, published in 1852, where six species are men- 
tioned; and more at length by Prof. G. H. French, in the Trans- 
actions of the Illinois State Horticultural Society for 1881, where 
ten species are discussed; and by Mr. Saunders in his admirable 
work on Insects Injurious to Fruit, published in 1883 (twenty species).
