On a small lot of pods of Acacia farnesiana iiiioii wliicL 

 the eggs of Caryohonis gonagra had been deposited in large 

 numbers, taken at Waialna, Oct. 4,1918, only about 50 per cent 

 of the eggs had been parasitized, leaving enough larvae of the 

 Bruehid to practically destroy the pods. The reason for this 

 smaller percentage was perhaps due to the fact that in this dis- 

 trict the only host plants for the Bruehid were Acacia farne- 

 siana and Prosopis juliflora and these ripen their seed in par- 

 ticular seasons, so that the species does not Iiave continuous- 

 breeding places throughout the year and the parasite has a 

 correspondingly limited opportunity for multiplication. 



12. Credit Where Credit is Due 



The paper in last year's Proceedings, pp. 465-505, was 

 prepared for publication under the pressure of wartime duties 

 in connection with the Selective Service and in the haste of 

 iinisliing up, it was finally published without recogiiition of 

 the assistance given me in the preparation of the, plant list by 

 Dr. H. L. Lyon, Mr. J. F. Rock and ^Ir. E. L. Caum. This 

 oversight was particularly regretable since unintentionally cer- 

 tain plants were there first recorded as growing in the Hawaii- 

 an Islands. The identifications of all the weedy Cassias wer-' 

 made by Mr. Rock. 



13. A Correction. 



In the discussion of the oviposition reflexes in the former 

 paper on Bruchidae, I had occasion to discuss the habits of a 

 South African lehneumonid Parasitizing Sarcopharja. This 

 was referred to under the name of AUotypa ?p. This is an 

 error. The insect is described elsewhere in this number of 

 these Proceedings as Atractodes mallyl
