CHAPTER XVIII. 



DISEASES AND PESTS ATTACKING LECUMINOS/E. 



Like those of all other groups, different species of 

 Leguminos^e are subject to different kinds of attack. We 

 have compiled a list of the \arious enemies of these plants 

 from notes in our possession, and append them in the hope 

 that they may be of use. 



Our thanks are due to our friends MAI. d'Emmerez de 

 Charmoy, Curator of the Museum, and P. Carie for their 

 kindness in revising the insect classification and for the notes 

 which they have sent us.
