   in 
  a 
  large 
  area 
  several 
  square 
  miles 
  in 
  extent 
  in 
  Mysore 
  district 
  and 
  

   the 
  attack 
  was 
  a 
  very 
  severe

  causing 
  enormous 
  aggregate 
  loss 
  to 
  

   the 
  raiyats.

  various 
  places 
  in 
  Bengal, 
  Bihar 
  

   and 
  Orissa 
  and 
  Madras. 
  As 
  a 
  result 
  of 
  the 
  attention 
  paid 
  to 
  it 
  the 
  

   following 
  facts 
  have 
  been 
  gathered.

  Fly 
  appears 
  in 
  August 
  and 
  September 
  and 
  sometimes

  late

   October. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  present 
  earlier 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  about 
  this 
  

   time 
  that 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  sufficient 
  numbers 
  to 
  attract 
  attention 
  and 
  in 
  

   some 
  years 
  in 
  large 
  numbers, 
  large 
  enough 
  to 
  cause 
  serious 
  damage.
