Oounty. Our correspondent further writes that in that county and in 
the adjoining county of Princess Anne, in what is one of the greatest 
strawberry-growing seetions of the South, most of the crops are well 
cultivated, and it has been found that as a consequence they are sel- 
dom annoyed by insects. 
In Pennsylvania, Mr. Frank W. Sempers, Doylestown, Bucks County, 
an entomologist of considerable reputation, reported the weevil at work 
in 1894. Hewrites: “The infested plants were sprayed with Bordeaux 
mixture, to which paris green was added, and this treatment appar- 
ently put an end to their work.” The species was not noticed doing 
injury there, however, this year. May 6 Mr. John Waltz wrote from 
Catawissa, Columbia County, that this insect, which he described, was 
destroying his crop for the year, and that it had been doing so for sev- 
eral years. May 24 he sent a specimen of the insect found on straw- 
berry at Blythedale, Md. 
John C. Andrus reported the species at Carbondale, IL, and St. Louis, 
Mo. Mr. W. Brodie, an entomologist of Toronto, Canada, reported the 
weevil present in strawberry patches around Toronto, but not injurious 
to any extent, and Mr. Charles Dury, also an entomologist, reported 
that the species was always abundant about Cincinnati, Ohio, although 
no damage had come to his notice.
