operative airangeinent between the H. S. P. A. and the Board whereby 
we pay his salary of $200.00 per month and they pay his expenses, which 
come between $300.00 and $400.00 per month. His two major projects at 
present are cutworm and wireworm enemies. Shipments made during 
October are still being cared for and the successful introductions of the 
Summer are being propagated and distributed to the fullest extent of 
our plant. We know definitely that three of the enemies of the avocado 
jucalybug are propagating themselves under natural conditions. An in- 
spection was made of the fern weevil infestation in the ditch country 
on Maui, where the fern weevil parasite was liberated during the Sum- 
mer, but no evidence could be seen of its establishment. An additional 
lot of parasites was put out. The Government of Formosa has sent 
entomologists to Hawaii to secure the melon fly parasite for that coun- 
try, and these co-workers in the entomological field are being given every 
possible assistance. 
Respectfully submitted, 
D. T. FULLAWAY, 
Entomologist.
