  Dr. 
  Cazeneuve, 
  a 
  French 
  senator 
  and 
  proprietor 
  of 
  vineyards 
  in 
  

   Beaujolais, 
  adduces 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  instances 
  of 
  poisoning 
  due 
  to 
  

   lead 
  arsenate 
  used 
  as 
  an 
  insecticide. 
  Besides 
  mentioning 
  these 
  most 
  

   obvious 
  cases, 
  he 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  warning 
  given 
  by 
  Lewin, 
  the 
  well-known 
  

   toxicologist 
  of 
  Berlin 
  University, 
  to 
  the 
  effect 
  that 
  harm 
  may 
  be 
  

   caused 
  without 
  any 
  immediate 
  apparent 
  symptom, 
  and 
  the 
  serious 
  

   functional 
  derangement 
  which 
  results 
  may 
  be 
  beyond 
  remedy. 
  On 
  

   the 
  authority 
  of 
  Lewin, 
  the 
  author 
  states 
  that 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  arsenicals, 
  

   especially 
  lead 
  arsenate, 
  is 
  forbidden 
  in 
  Germany. 
  As 
  a 
  practical 
  

   vine-grower, 
  he 
  himself 
  considers 
  that 
  lead 
  arsenate 
  is 
  inefficacious 
  

   against 
  Clysia 
  and 
  Polychrosis. 
  The 
  1913 
  season 
  in 
  Beaujolais 
  was 
  

   exceedingly 
  bad 
  for 
  those 
  growers 
  who 
  had 
  continued 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  lead 
  

   arsenate 
  after 
  the 
  ill-success 
  demonstrated 
  in 
  past 
  years 
  with 
  this 
  

   insecticide.

   insects 
  of 
  the

  Rev.

  1st,

  The 
  xylophagous 
  or 
  wood-boring 
  insects 
  of 
  the 
  vine 
  are 
  less 
  familiar 
  

   to 
  the 
  grower 
  than 
  those 
  pests 
  which 
  attack 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  the 
  grapes. 
  

   They 
  are 
  rarely 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  the 
  stock 
  or 
  of 
  injury 
  which 
  

   leads 
  to 
  the 
  discovery 
  of 
  their 
  galleries, 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  nearly 
  always 
  

   secondary 
  parasites 
  which 
  establish 
  themselves 
  on 
  stocks 
  already 
  

   weakened 
  by 
  age, 
  by 
  cryptogramic 
  diseases, 
  or 
  by 
  phytophagous 
  or 
  

   rhizophagous 
  insects. 
  In 
  France 
  the 
  chief 
  wood-borers 
  are 
  : 
  Cossiis, 
  

   Apate, 
  Callidium, 
  Clytus, 
  Buprestidae, 
  Tenthredinidae, 
  and 
  

   termites. 
  The 
  last-named 
  will 
  be 
  dealt 
  with 
  in 
  another 
  paper. 
  

  

  Cossus 
  cossus, 
  L., 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  dangerous 
  tree-pests. 
  It 
  

   principally 
  affects 
  the 
  willow, 
  but 
  many 
  fruit-trees, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  apple, 
  

   plum, 
  cheery, 
  and 
  fig 
  are 
  attacked, 
  as 
  are 
  also 
  forest 
  and 
  shade-trees 
  

   such 
  as 
  the 
  elm, 
  poplar, 
  oak, 
  chestnut, 
  maple, 
  ash, 
  plane, 
  etc. 
  The 
  

   damage 
  is 
  sometimes 
  enormous. 
  Until 
  late 
  years 
  Cossns 
  was 
  held 
  to 
  be 
  

   only 
  a 
  tree-pest, 
  but 
  its 
  larva 
  has 
  been 
  observed 
  attacking 
  vines 
  in 
  

   Algeria, 
  the 
  Bouches-du-Rhone, 
  the 
  Narbonnais, 
  and 
  the 
  Haute- 
  

   Garonne. 
  The 
  author 
  has 
  observed 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  some 
  weak 
  stocks 
  in
