40 Indian Museum Notes. [Vol. IV. 



" 5'MK^a. — Bajri is similarly attacked by an insect called *Sunga.' The 

 insect sucks the milk out of the tender corn, thus reducing the yield of grain 

 both in quality and quantity. 



" Tur. — In cloudy weather * Tur ' is attacked by an insect which decreases the 

 yield of the crop considerably all over the district. It burrows into the ovary of 

 the flower, and into the tender pods which are just forming. The flowers so 

 attacked fall off without producing fruit ; the pods after the attack remain empty 

 and do not fill up. 



" No kinds of remedial measures are known or practised by the cultivators in 

 case of all the diseases described above. They are all attributed to changes in 

 weather."
