The report referred to b.v Kr. Fletclier, contains the following statement : — • 



"An interesting account nf a .Japanese in.sect {lAncrna hcrcUera, Dup. ). 

 which, if different, resembles in iu(.)st respec-ts the apple fruit-miner in a ver.v 

 remarkable manner, is given with an excellent tigure in Bulletin No. 10. new 

 series, Division of Entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture, by Prof. 

 JIatsumnra. of Sapporo. Japan. In a foot-note to tlii.s article. Dr. Howard has 

 suggested, from the resemblance of Prof. Jlatsumura's figure to bred specimens 

 of the apple fruit-miner from British Columbia, wliicli he was good enough to 

 examine, the identity of the two in.sects. Altliough it is true the figure cited 

 and the perfect moths of the aiiple fruit-miner do agree closely, the habits of 

 the larva-, as given by Prof. Matsumara {Inc. (it.) and as described in my 

 annual report for 180<!. differ upon what seem to be such important characters 

 that for the present I can hardly think that the two attacks are by the .same 

 species. The writer of tlie article referred to says that the larvre live only 

 in apple cores, in.iurhig tlie seeds, that there is usually only one egg deposited 

 on each apple, and that the cocoons are made in tlie earth whenever possible.
