It is very interesting to note what Mr. Koebele says about the 
melon maggot parasite in China and Japan. We all had the im- 
pression that India was the country where the parasite existed. 
I shall get in touch with entomologists in these countries and see 
what can be done in the matter. The promiscuous sending of 
cucumbers as suggested by Mr. Koebele is somewhat dangerous, 
however now that we have a base to work on we can at least 
make a strong attempt to get the desired parasite. 
Brother M. Newell, Inspector at Hilo, reports that seven for- 
eign vessels occupied his time during January, with 105 lots and 
1819 parcels of fruit and vegetables. Seventy-five sacks of 
potatoes were found to be very dirty with adhering soil. These 
were held and the consignee was compelled to clean them before 
delivery. 
Several applications for inoculated Japanese beetles were re- 
ceived and attended to. We can furnish these now and owing 
to the aboundance of moisture we advise the use of the fungus 
at this season of the year. 
V ery truly yours,

Superintendent of Entomology.
