___ In notes appended, Dr. MacGillivray says: 
i: . 4 have before me for study four specimens from 
the United States National Museum, all from the Riley collec- 
re... rete ae on Sackberry, two types from 
Pro ssor Forbes and a single specimen from Rhode Island. 
SNES ‘Satles aiedtly ia the amount and intensity of the 
a palpi ined The type of capitalis is ap- 
parently an immature individual in which the mesonotal mark- 
= ings are entirely wanting; in other individuals the mesonotum 
; may be entirely blackish rufous, or with only slightly marked 
We Spots, or with the body shining black and with distinct rufous 
mesonotal area. Forbes’ Metallus rubi, based on males, is 
black; the male of capitalis differs from the female only in 
having the mesonotum black, and is undoubtedly the same as 
Forbes’ rubi, while Marlatt’s canadensis appears to be simply a 
form of capitalis with a distinct black and rufous color.” 
In the Fourth Report* of the Delaware Experiment Sta-

_ fies, which I give herewith: 
‘ “Specimens of blackberry leaves infested by a leaf-miner 
> were received June 25, from Mr. P. Emerson, Wyoming, Del.,
