  long 
  belt 
  of 
  country 
  from 
  Clang 
  Gates 
  to 
  Ulu 
  Pudu, 
  and 
  in 
  

   other 
  scattered 
  districts 
  ; 
  786 
  swarms 
  were 
  destroyed 
  by 
  driving, 
  

   from 
  9-13 
  gangs 
  being 
  employed 
  every 
  day, 
  and 
  only 
  one 
  

   swarm 
  escaped. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  various 
  places 
  that 
  new 
  swarms 
  

   hatched 
  out 
  without 
  the 
  laying 
  of 
  any 
  additional 
  eggs, 
  sometimes 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  six 
  weeks 
  after 
  the 
  earUer 
  swarms 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  locaHties 
  

   had 
  been 
  first 
  observed, 
  indicating 
  some 
  delay 
  in 
  the 
  hatching 
  of 
  the 
  

   eggs. 
  Poison, 
  used 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  in 
  Selangor, 
  was 
  successfully 
  

   employed 
  against 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  swarms. 
  Of 
  the 
  flying 
  swarms 
  that 
  

   escaped 
  from 
  the 
  regular 
  generation 
  of 
  February 
  and 
  March 
  hoppers, 
  

   about 
  14, 
  mostly 
  small 
  and 
  definitely 
  located, 
  will 
  lay 
  their 
  eggs 
  about 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  July. 
  In 
  the 
  Negri 
  Sembilan 
  locust 
  destruction 
  work 
  

   continued 
  from 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  April 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  May. 
  The 
  hopper 
  season 
  

   lasted 
  in 
  the 
  Tampin 
  district 
  from 
  1st 
  April 
  to 
  6th 
  June 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  Seremban 
  

   district 
  from 
  30th 
  March 
  to 
  27th 
  June, 
  two 
  generations 
  appearing 
  to 
  

   have 
  overlapped 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  coast, 
  the 
  generations 
  are 
  so 
  intermixed 
  that 
  

   hoppers 
  are 
  always 
  present. 
  Altogether 
  1,183 
  swarms 
  were 
  destroyed 
  

   by 
  driving 
  and 
  187 
  swarms 
  by 
  poison 
  ; 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  this, 
  large 
  swarms 
  

   of 
  winged 
  locusts 
  were 
  reported 
  in 
  June 
  to 
  be 
  scattered 
  throughout 
  

   the 
  Tampin 
  district, 
  and 
  further 
  breeding 
  grounds 
  are 
  expected. 
  

   Swarms 
  bred 
  inside 
  the 
  Malacca 
  boundary 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  entered 
  S.E. 
  

   Negri 
  Sembilan, 
  and 
  the 
  locusts 
  being 
  now 
  concentrated 
  in 
  this 
  district, 
  

   effective 
  work 
  there 
  will 
  reduce 
  them 
  throughout 
  the 
  peninsula.

  Leucotermes 
  lucifugus, 
  Rossi, 
  and 
  Calotermes 
  flavicollis, 
  F., 
  are 
  the 
  

   two 
  species 
  of 
  termites 
  found 
  in 
  France. 
  The 
  former 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  

   south-west 
  in 
  old, 
  somewhat 
  rotten 
  pine 
  stumps 
  left 
  in 
  the 
  ground, 
  

   whilst 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  only 
  found 
  in 
  Languedoc 
  and 
  Provence, 
  where 
  

   it 
  also 
  attacks 
  tree-trunks. 
  Leucotermes 
  lucifugus 
  does 
  not 
  confine 
  

   its 
  attacks 
  to 
  pine 
  stumps, 
  but 
  has 
  done 
  great 
  damage 
  to 
  buildings 
  

   at 
  Bordeaux, 
  Rochefoit 
  and 
  La 
  Rochelle. 
  Calotermes 
  flavicollis 
  very 
  

   rarely 
  attacks 
  timber 
  in 
  buildings. 
  In 
  France, 
  attacks 
  on 
  Hving 
  plants 
  

   are 
  relatively 
  unimportant, 
  and 
  mainly 
  limited 
  to 
  those 
  weakened 
  

   already, 
  either 
  by 
  age, 
  disease, 
  or 
  insect 
  attack 
  [see 
  this 
  Review, 
  Ser. 
  A, 
  

   ii, 
  p. 
  596-597]. 
  The 
  queens 
  of 
  Leucotermes 
  lucifugus 
  and 
  Calotermes 
  

   flavicollis 
  are 
  less 
  prohfic 
  than 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  with 
  some 
  species, 
  but 
  pro- 
  

   duce 
  many 
  eggs 
  daily 
  over 
  several 
  years, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  colonies 
  increase 
  

   quickly. 
  Great 
  stress 
  is 
  laid 
  on 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  effecting 
  the 
  total 
  

   destruction 
  of 
  a 
  given 
  colony, 
  which 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  the 
  queen 
  is 
  

   insufficient 
  to 
  complete, 
  as 
  a 
  few 
  workers, 
  together 
  with 
  some 
  

   nymphs 
  or 
  larvae, 
  are 
  able 
  to 
  continue 
  the 
  colony.

  Water, 
  

   200

  wine-lees, 
  16

   ten
