Martinique, the three islands on which limes are most extensively grown, 

 and in which they seem to come to the greatest perfection. Dr. Riley 

 says that the trip was full of interest, and will, he fully believes, ultimately 

 result in benefit to the Company. Among the natural enemies found at 

 work among the scale insects, some of which were identical with those 

 found in the United States, there was no trace of the Twice-stabbed Lady- 

 bird, Chilocorus bimilnerus, which is, after all, most effective in keeping 

 the scales in check in Florida. Anticipating its absence. Dr. Riley had 

 arranged for shipments from home, some of which had already arrived in 

 good condition before he left Washington, and after latest advices from 

 Mr. Hubbard, were reveling in Montserrat scales. Dr. Riley thinks there 

 is every hope, therefore, that we may have in this instance another striking 

 example of the value of the importation of beneficial insects under pecu- 

 liarly favorable conditions.
