  author 
  remarks 
  that 
  such 
  an 
  outbreak 
  has 
  not 
  occurred 
  for 
  many 
  

   years. 
  

  

  Luperus 
  rufipes, 
  Scop., 
  was 
  observed 
  in 
  noticeable 
  numbers 
  on 
  some 
  

   apple 
  trees, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  on 
  alder 
  trees, 
  in 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  Alma. 
  

   Galeruca 
  crataegi, 
  Bach, 
  (xanthomelaena, 
  Schr.) 
  appeared 
  in 
  some 
  parts 
  

   round 
  Simferopol 
  on 
  elms. 
  Some 
  species 
  of 
  Lecanium 
  probably 
  

   L. 
  corniy 
  Bouche, 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  large 
  numbers 
  on 
  apple 
  trees 
  in 
  one 
  

   locality, 
  where 
  they 
  have 
  never 
  previously 
  appeared. 
  It 
  is 
  assumed 
  that 
  

   the 
  pest 
  migrated 
  from 
  the 
  forests 
  to 
  the 
  gardens. 
  Lyonetia 
  clerkella 
  

   appeared 
  in 
  extraordinarily 
  large 
  numbers, 
  being 
  absent 
  only 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  

   fruit 
  gardens 
  and 
  on 
  scattered 
  apple 
  trees. 
  This 
  outbreak 
  has 
  not 
  

   resulted 
  in 
  serious 
  damage, 
  only 
  the 
  trees 
  attacked 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  

   having 
  suffered 
  seriously. 
  

  

  Choreutis 
  parialis, 
  T., 
  also 
  appeared 
  in 
  enormous 
  numbers 
  in 
  the 
  

   orchards 
  along 
  the 
  river 
  Katcha. 
  The 
  following 
  remedies 
  are 
  sug- 
  

   gested 
  : 
  spraying 
  with 
  Paris 
  green 
  or 
  with 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  and 
  

   Paris 
  green, 
  and 
  applying 
  belts 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  which 
  

   have 
  been 
  thrown 
  from 
  the 
  trees 
  by 
  the 
  spraying 
  from 
  getting 
  back 
  ; 
  

   the 
  spraying 
  must 
  be 
  done 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  June, 
  before 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  

   have 
  got 
  underneath 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  leaves. 
  Hyponomeuta 
  malinellus, 
  

   Z., 
  did 
  not 
  do 
  serious 
  damage, 
  although 
  appearing 
  in 
  large 
  numbers. 
  

   It 
  was 
  noticed 
  that 
  the 
  increase 
  in 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  was 
  quite 
  suddenly 
  

   arrested. 
  This 
  is 
  explained 
  by 
  the 
  great 
  multiphcation 
  of 
  their 
  

   parasites, 
  which 
  succeeded 
  in 
  stopping 
  their 
  spread. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  generation 
  of 
  Phlydaenodes 
  sticticalis 
  seriously 
  damaged 
  

   market-gardens, 
  orchards 
  and 
  grasses, 
  and 
  the 
  moths 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  

   generation 
  hatched 
  out 
  in 
  enormous 
  quantities, 
  but 
  perished 
  without 
  

   ovipositing. 
  The 
  aphis, 
  Brachycolus 
  noxkis, 
  Mordw., 
  did 
  noticeable 
  

   damage 
  to 
  winter-sown 
  crops 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Eupatoria, 
  although 
  

   their 
  numbers 
  were 
  much 
  less 
  than 
  last 
  year.

  Injurious 
  insects 
  in 
  the 
  forests 
  of 
  the 
  government 
  required 
  less 
  

   attention 
  in 
  1913, 
  owing 
  chiefly 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  a 
  cockchafer 
  

   year. 
  In 
  the 
  three 
  forest 
  areas 
  in 
  which 
  organised 
  collections 
  of 
  

   Melolontha 
  melolontha 
  took 
  place, 
  only 
  1,3141b. 
  were 
  obtained 
  as 
  

   compared 
  with 
  over 
  26J 
  tons 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  year. 
  In 
  the 
  forests 
  

   of 
  Vindreev 
  and 
  Fastchevsk, 
  tobacco 
  dust 
  was 
  either 
  scattered 
  over 
  

   the 
  ground 
  or 
  dug 
  into 
  the 
  soil. 
  The 
  efficacy 
  of 
  this 
  method 
  is 
  still 
  in 
  

   doubt 
  as 
  there 
  has 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  time 
  to 
  test 
  it 
  properly. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  pine 
  plantations 
  of 
  the 
  forest 
  of 
  Gorielsk, 
  an 
  undetermined 
  

   insect 
  which 
  attacks 
  the 
  young 
  shoots 
  did 
  considerable 
  damage 
  in 
  

   1912 
  ; 
  in 
  1913 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  these 
  insects 
  were 
  undertaken. 
  Their 
  

   presence 
  in 
  the 
  trees 
  could 
  be 
  ascertained 
  by 
  thick 
  swellings 
  on 
  the 
  

   attacked 
  shoots, 
  marking 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  entry 
  and 
  smeared 
  with 
  a 
  

   resinous 
  exudation, 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  attacked 
  pines 
  being 
  covered 
  with 
  

   web. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  extract 
  the 
  pest 
  from 
  the 
  shoots, 
  the 
  latter 
  were 
  

   carefully 
  tapped 
  with 
  sticks. 
  During 
  May 
  and 
  June

  197,000
