Some years ago our travelling entomologist, Mr. Geo. Compére, 
set out to investigate this important point, but the matter was not 
followed up. Since then his successor, Mr. L. J. Newman, has done 
good work in perfecting the fruit fly baits, which for a number of 
years had been used with indifferent success (vide Nos. 21 and 22, 
page 531).
