on which were found 87 lots consisting of 1465 parcels. One par- 
cel of Palm seeds contained beetle larvae and all infested seeds 
were burned. 
One colony of Cabbage worm parasites was liberated during 
the month. Owing to the small area of Cabbages now growing 
as well as to the reduction of the pest by fungi and other agencies 
we have had to stop breeding the new parasite for the present, as 
it is difficult to procure sufficient hosts for the work.

PESTS INTERCEPTED. 
The most important find this month was a 
Leafroller 
on rose 
plants, which were also badly infested with the Rose-scale (Aula- 
caspis rosac) and Aphids. The shipment was found among the 
Japanese immigration baggage and was thrown into the furnace 
of the “Pioneer.” We have serious trouble here already with leaf- 
rollers and this season especially our pests have been very 
abundant. 
. There arrived by Wells Fargo's Express a box containing two 
Chameleons sent as pets to a party here and as food the box con- 
tained a large number of larvae of the Flour beetle (Tenchrio 
molitor). A good strong colony of ants, the common house ant 
of the mainland, IMonomorium pharaonis, had also found comfort 
among the lizards. The box and contents were destroyed, the 
Chameleons are now in alcohol in the Division Museum. Among 
our usual inspection of seeds we found some Jamaica seeds in- 
fested with Anthribid weevils.
