would be ruined. On June 20 I observed many "Lady-birds" on the tree. 

 The "Lady-bird," so-called, is a small beetle belonging to the family Coc- 

 cinellidce. Two species, especially, were very numerous : Adalia bi-punc- 

 tata and Brachyacantha ursina. To-day, July 1, not one of these plant 

 lice was to be found on the tree, but numerous cast-off skins of larvse and 

 pupa were everywhere hanging to the leaves, and told the story how silently 

 and efficiently ,these friendly little beetles had done their work and saved 

 the tree from complete destruction.
