 Com. Hort. Cal., v. 1, no. 5, p. 156-159. 



While dealing chiefly with Ceratitis capitata, Weinland has the following to say 

 about Dacus cucurbitw: "The melon fly has been a pest on the Hawaiian Islands 

 for as many as 25 years and has become established on all the islands of the 

 group. It is particularly destructive to melons and certain vegetables. On March 

 28, 1910, Quarantine Order No. 4 was issued barring from the State watermelons, 

 muskmelons, cucumbers, and tomatoes from these islands or from any other place 

 in which the fly is known to exist."

 Two references identical and as follows : " I am happy to inform you that we 

 have enlisted the interest and action of other Pacific Coast States and of British 

 Columbia, and so feel that we are in less danger of an invasion of the Mediter- 

 ranean fruit fly and of the melon fly (Dacus cucurbitw) via other than our own 

 ports through the interest and action of horticulturists of other States."
