604 Additional Remarks on 
garding prevention and remedy for attack of wire-worm, have 
been sent in. 
I also receive frequent applications as to the possibility 
of procuring information or giving instruction for practical 
agricultural purposes regarding the prevention of injurious 
insects, and I have given short notes on the points which 
appeared most wished for, but have not as yet been able to 
attend to this very important matter in any way as it deserves. 
XXXIV. — Additional Remarks on Laying down Land to Perma- 
nent Pasture. By C. De Laune Faunce-De Laune, of 
Sharsted Court, Sittingbourne. 
In an article in the last number of this Society's ' Journal,' " On 
Laying down Land, to Permanent Pasture," I confined myself 
almost entirely to the one point of the seeds which I consider 
necessary to form the pasture. My object was to confine the 
attention of the reader to that which my experience had led me 
to consider the most important and most neglected aspect of 
this urgent question. 
Although only a short time has elapsed since that article 
was published, the numerous communications since received on 
the subject induce me to add further details. I may here men- 
tion that in the Table of mixture of seeds for good or medium 
soils (page 261) the headings ought to have been the same as 
the headings in pages 262 and 263. The conclusion I had 
arrived at was that 41, 40, and 38 lbs. respectively were sufficient, 
assuming the seed to be of the indicated germinating power ; 
if seed of a higher germinating power could be procured, less 
anight be used, and if lower, more would be necessary. 
I inadvertently used the wrong heading, and am glad that 
my attention has since been called to the mistake ; and I take 
this opportunity of adding that I should advise in the mixture 
indicated an increase in the quantity of the foxtail, if early grass 
is considered of special value and equivalent to the greater cost 
of the seed. 
Let me further correct a word which I overlooked in reading 
the proof of page 257. Fiorin should have been character- 
ised as " perhaps the least known," but it was printed " best 
known." 
I have already urged the importance of obtaining each kind 
of seed separately, and of having each parcel of seed examined 
before sowing. I may now add that, certain as my own ex-
