REMARKS. 



The " Cup Scale " is very common in Egypt and is a decided 

 pest of Figs, particularly in the Faiyum- the big fig-growing district. 

 The usual remedy advocated is a winter wash of lime, salt, and sulphur. 

 Experiments were carried out with this spray in the Faiyum 1914-1917 

 (Gibson, Agric. Journal of Egypt, Vol. x, 1920, p. 40) with apparently 

 beneficial results.
