  REPORT 
  UNITED 
  STATES 
  ENTOMOLOGICAL 
  COMMISSION. 
  

  

  Loew, 
  June 
  15, 
  it 
  showed 
  that 
  a 
  diagonal 
  vein 
  of 
  attacked 
  cereal 
  ran 
  

   longitudinally 
  through 
  the 
  field. 
  

  

  On 
  July 
  12 
  I 
  visited 
  the 
  property 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Josephy, 
  near' 
  Striegau, 
  

   where 
  the 
  English 
  wheat 
  was 
  supposed 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  attacked 
  in 
  this 
  

   spring 
  by 
  wintering. 
  The 
  wheat, 
  being 
  on 
  very 
  rich 
  soil, 
  though 
  show- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  luxuriant 
  growth, 
  was 
  nevertheless 
  recognized 
  as 
  being 
  attacked 
  

   by 
  frost, 
  since 
  it 
  showed 
  black 
  spots, 
  shriveled 
  stalks 
  which 
  easily 
  broke 
  

   off 
  from 
  the 
  root-stock, 
  and 
  also 
  a 
  great 
  number 
  of 
  pupae. 
  The 
  wheat 
  

   was 
  sowed 
  last 
  fall 
  between 
  October 
  15 
  and 
  20. 
  Director 
  Fellinger, 
  at 
  

   Schwieben, 
  had 
  also 
  communicated 
  to 
  me 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  fly 
  did 
  con- 
  

   siderable 
  damage 
  near 
  Tost, 
  but 
  more 
  in 
  rye 
  than 
  in 
  wheat.
