  OF 
  THE 
  TOUKTH 
  ENTOMOLOGICAL 
  MEETING 
  59 
  

  

  that 
  subsequent 
  research 
  will 
  enable 
  us 
  to 
  control 
  the 
  pest 
  on 
  a 
  larger 
  

   scale 
  by 
  treatment 
  of 
  the 
  bushes. 
  

  

  It 
  was 
  quite 
  a 
  new 
  line 
  of 
  work 
  which 
  was 
  taken 
  up 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Andrews 
  Mr. 
  Fletcher. 
  

   and 
  I 
  congratulate 
  him 
  on 
  the 
  success 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  achieved 
  in 
  the 
  course 
  

   of 
  his 
  investigations 
  of 
  this 
  important 
  pest. 
  

  

  In 
  connection 
  Avith 
  this 
  interesting 
  and 
  instructive 
  paper, 
  1 
  may 
  Mr. 
  Sen. 
  

   mention 
  that 
  we 
  tried 
  to 
  inject 
  essential 
  oils 
  into 
  plants. 
  The 
  ■modus 
  

   operandi 
  was 
  very 
  simple. 
  We 
  made 
  an 
  incision 
  into 
  the 
  bark 
  and 
  

   connected 
  the 
  incised 
  portion 
  with 
  a 
  funnel 
  containing 
  the 
  oil 
  by 
  means 
  

   of 
  a 
  ru])ber 
  tubing, 
  the 
  funnel 
  being 
  placed 
  at 
  a 
  higher 
  level. 
  May 
  

   I 
  know 
  from 
  the 
  lecturer 
  if 
  we 
  were 
  proceeding 
  on 
  right 
  lines 
  ? 
  The 
  

   experiment 
  was 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  our 
  work 
  on 
  Chemotropism 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  

   an 
  attempt 
  to 
  permeate 
  a 
  plant 
  with 
  a 
  scented 
  substance. 
  

  

  I 
  should 
  first 
  like 
  to 
  know 
  how 
  high 
  the 
  funnel 
  was 
  from 
  the 
  plant 
  Mr. 
  Andrews, 
  

   and 
  at 
  what 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  root 
  the 
  incision 
  was 
  made. 
  

  

  The 
  funnel 
  was 
  placed 
  about 
  1| 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  the 
  plant 
  and 
  the 
  Mr. 
  Sen. 
  

   incision 
  was 
  made 
  at 
  a 
  distance 
  of 
  about 
  2 
  feet 
  from 
  the 
  root. 
  „ 
  . 
  , 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  only 
  possible 
  to 
  get 
  plants 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  sohitions.
