than the body. The latter has now assumed an almost regularly 
oval form, measuring nearly one-fifth of an inch in length and being 
half as wide. 
Fourth Stage or “Pupa.” —(Plate XIV, Fig. 2.) This is rather nar- 
row oval in form, a little widest behind the middle, four mm. wide 
hy two long. The general color of the body is light green: the head 
and eyes and a broad transverse b: and across the anterior part of 
the pronotum are red, and there is a transverse red patch upon 
the abdomen, posterior to the wing pads; the latter are dusky except 
at the base, where they are green; the antenne are much longer 
than the body, red except the tip and base of the last joint, and 
the base of the penultimate, which are white; the body is green 
beneath, with the exception of the tip of the abdomen, which is red 
at the sides; the coxe and femora are red, the latter somewhat 
banded with white at the tip; the tibie of the two anterior pairs of 
legs, and all the tarsi, are white with dusky tips; the tibie of the 
posterior legs are red. 
LIFE HISTORY. 
At Cobden, in May, this insect was found in all stages ex- 
cept the first. Adults have occurred in our collections in March. 
In June pupe occurred, and on the thirtieth of this month, 
adults. July Ist, pupe, adults, and young in the second stage were 
collected, and August 2d, adults and young in all stages except the 
first. In September, finally, pupze and adults were seen. From 
these data it is evident that the fe history of the species corresponds 
closely to that of Lygus lineolaris, and that the broods are probably 
two in number. The exact simiarity of this species, with respect 
to habits and life history, to the tarnished plant bug already dis- 
cussed, mekes it evident that measures found eff clive for that 
species will likewise serve for this. The reader is therefore referred 
to the discussion of the injuries to vegetation, and methods of pre- 
vention and remedy, given under the preceding species.

THE STRAWBERRY MILLIPEDE. 
Cambala annulata (Say) Cope. 
Class Myrrapopa. Order Drenopopa. 
In May, 1883, [ received from Mr. C. W. Butler, of Anna, Illinois, 
a single slender, cylindrical millipede (thousand-legs), said to have 
been taken from the interior of a ripe strawberry. It was about an 
inch and a half in le»gth, and had entered the berry by a small 
hole about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter. When found, it 
was coiled within the berry, entirely concealed in a cavity about the 
size of a Lima bean. I referred this specimen for determination to
