  The 
  author 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  papers 
  by 
  A. 
  Radetzky 
  on 
  his 
  importation 
  

   of 
  the 
  parasites 
  of 
  the 
  eggs 
  of 
  Cydia 
  (Carpocapsa) 
  pomoneUa 
  from 
  

   Astrachan 
  to 
  Turkestan, 
  and 
  points 
  out 
  that 
  at 
  the 
  First 
  Russian 
  

   Conference 
  of 
  Entomologists 
  in 
  Kiev, 
  in 
  August 
  of 
  last 
  year 
  (1913), 
  

   the 
  work 
  of 
  Radetzky 
  was 
  severely 
  criticised. 
  The 
  latter 
  stated 
  that 
  

   he 
  had 
  imported 
  into 
  Turkestan 
  the 
  parasite 
  known 
  as 
  Trichogramma 
  

   {Oophthora, 
  Penfathron) 
  semhlidis, 
  Auriv., 
  but 
  owing 
  to 
  some 
  doubts 
  

   as 
  to 
  the 
  exact 
  identification 
  of 
  the 
  parasites 
  found 
  in 
  that 
  country, 
  he 
  

   gave 
  to 
  it 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Trichogramma 
  (Pentarfhron) 
  carpocapsae, 
  

   Ashm. 
  When 
  he 
  sent 
  his 
  specimens 
  to 
  Russia, 
  the 
  Russian 
  entomo- 
  

   logists 
  were 
  not 
  able 
  to 
  discover 
  amongst 
  them 
  either 
  of 
  these 
  two 
  

   species, 
  but 
  identified 
  them 
  as 
  Trichogramma 
  fasciatum, 
  Perkins. 
  

   Thus 
  the 
  exact 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  parasite 
  and 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  imported 
  

   by 
  Radetzky 
  is 
  not 
  known, 
  though 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  great 
  importance, 
  

   so 
  far 
  as 
  their 
  usefulness, 
  etc., 
  is 
  concerned. 
  The 
  author 
  further 
  

   doubts 
  the 
  statement 
  of 
  Radetzky 
  that 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  local 
  species 
  

   parasitic 
  on 
  C. 
  pomoneUa 
  in 
  Turkestan, 
  for 
  a 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  

   by 
  Plotnikov 
  in 
  Fergana, 
  where 
  no 
  parasites 
  have 
  been 
  imported 
  ; 
  

   nor 
  does 
  he 
  accept 
  the 
  contention 
  that 
  C. 
  pomoneUa 
  was 
  absent 
  from 
  

   Turkestan 
  till 
  it 
  was 
  imported 
  by 
  the 
  Russians 
  after 
  the 
  conquest.

  The 
  Entomological 
  Bureau 
  in 
  Kaluga 
  came 
  into 
  existence 
  at 
  the 
  

   beginning 
  of 
  last 
  summer 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  half-year's 
  

   work. 
  Attention 
  has 
  principally 
  been 
  paid 
  to 
  pests 
  of 
  orchards, 
  as 
  

   these 
  constitute 
  an 
  important 
  industry 
  in 
  the 
  government, 
  covering" 
  

   nearly 
  16,200 
  acres. 
  Most 
  of 
  these 
  orchards 
  are 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  unsatisfactory 
  

   state, 
  and 
  the 
  Bureau 
  had 
  to 
  undertake 
  the 
  task 
  of 
  teaching 
  the 
  popu- 
  

   lation 
  the 
  necessity 
  for 
  proper 
  cultural 
  methods, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  measures 
  

   for 
  controlling 
  the 
  various 
  insect 
  pests, 
  which 
  have 
  yearly 
  levied 
  a 
  

   heavy 
  toll. 
  The 
  report 
  goes 
  on 
  to 
  describe 
  the 
  campaign 
  conducted 
  

   by 
  its 
  staff 
  on 
  two 
  areas, 
  one 
  in 
  the 
  district
