   Potential 
  Coleopterous 
  borers. 
  There 
  is 
  reason 
  to 
  believe 
  that 
  

   the 
  Curculionid 
  and 
  Scolytid 
  beetles 
  which 
  have 
  of 
  late 
  been 
  observed 
  

   to 
  breed 
  in 
  date 
  and 
  coconut 
  palms 
  in 
  such 
  large 
  numbers 
  as 
  to 
  bring 
  

   about 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  these 
  plants, 
  may 
  turn 
  their 
  attention 
  to 
  sugar- 
  

   cane, 
  Calandra 
  stigmaticollis 
  , 
  which 
  is 
  reported 
  to 
  be 
  bad 
  in 
  this 
  respect 
  

   in 
  Ratnagiri 
  and 
  Malabar, 
  has 
  been 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  Insectary 
  to 
  oviposit, 
  

   live 
  and 
  breed 
  in 
  sugarcane 
  stems 
  without 
  any 
  apparent 
  inconvenience. 
  

   Among 
  Scolytid 
  beetles, 
  Xyleborus 
  perforans 
  already 
  ranks 
  as 
  a 
  pest 
  

   of 
  sugarcane. 
  Therefore 
  wherever 
  such 
  affected 
  palms 
  are 
  present, 
  

   they 
  may 
  be 
  looked 
  upon 
  as 
  sources 
  of 
  danger, 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  other 
  palms 
  

   but 
  also 
  to 
  sugarcane, 
  especially 
  thick 
  varities 
  of 
  sugarcane. 
  A 
  Niti- 
  

   dulid 
  beetle, 
  Brachypeplus 
  sp. 
  (C. 
  S. 
  1101 
  and 
  1661) 
  is 
  frequently 
  found 
  

   breeding 
  inside 
  decaying 
  but 
  moist 
  stems 
  of 
  sugarcane 
  and 
  maize. 
  But 
  

   it 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  borer.
