  In 
  breeding 
  the 
  Coccinellid 
  a 
  meat-safe 
  was 
  first 
  used, 
  the 
  wire- 
  

   gauze 
  sides 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  rather 
  fine 
  muslin. 
  A¥ith 
  

   this 
  box 
  there 
  was 
  some 
  difficulty 
  in 
  inspecting 
  the 
  insects, 
  and 
  a 
  

   special 
  one 
  was 
  then 
  made 
  with 
  sides 
  partly 
  of 
  clear 
  glass, 
  partly 
  of 
  

   wire-gauze, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  hinged 
  lid 
  at 
  the 
  top. 
  A 
  large 
  bag 
  of 
  tulle 
  

   with 
  room 
  for 
  both 
  the 
  box 
  and 
  the 
  operator 
  permitted 
  of 
  all 
  manipu- 
  

   lations 
  being 
  effected 
  without 
  any 
  danger 
  of 
  the 
  imagines 
  escaping. 
  

   Illustrations 
  of 
  the 
  apparatus 
  are 
  given. 
  In 
  an 
  open 
  cardboard 
  box 
  

   containing 
  remnants 
  of 
  Icerya, 
  eggs, 
  larvae, 
  nymphs 
  and 
  adults 
  of 
  

   Novius 
  were 
  placed 
  and 
  the 
  box 
  fixed 
  to 
  a 
  lemon 
  tree 
  infested 
  by 
  the 
  

   Coccid. 
  This 
  proved 
  successful, 
  but 
  later, 
  open 
  tubes 
  of 
  wire 
  gauze 
  

   containing 
  at 
  least 
  one 
  hundred 
  Novius 
  were 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  branches 
  

   of 
  infested 
  trees 
  and 
  the 
  results 
  were 
  even 
  more 
  satisfactory.

  To 
  prevent 
  the 
  introduction 
  of 
  injurious 
  insects 
  with 
  imported 
  plants, 
  

   etc., 
  the 
  following 
  measures 
  are 
  recommended 
  : 
  (1) 
  Inspection 
  of 
  

   the 
  crops 
  of 
  the 
  exporting 
  country, 
  if 
  possible, 
  when 
  growing. 
  The 
  

   official 
  entomologists 
  of 
  the 
  importing 
  country 
  should 
  have 
  full 
  

   information 
  on 
  this 
  point. 
  (2) 
  Certificates 
  of 
  phytopathological 
  

   inspection. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  enacted 
  that 
  all 
  plant 
  shipments 
  be 
  accom-
