AMENDED LIST OF AWARDS. 
OUR COMMISSIONER IN LONDON. 
The Hon. W. W. Mitchell in forwarding to 
the following copy of a letter from our Ohioago 
"Commissioner and amended list of awards states : — 
" A telegram from London dated yesterday 
intimatea that Mr. Grinlinton has arrived." 
The Ceylon Commissioner's Tea House, 72, State 
Street, Chicago, U.S. America. Nov. 27. 
The Hon. W. W. Mitchell, M.L.C., Colombo, Ceylon. 
Dear Sir,— With reference to my letter of last 
week enclosing you a list of Awards, I beg to call 
your attention to the fact that the names of some 
of the tea estates are misspelt, the original list 
made for the Committee of the Awards have 
these errors in it, and they were typed without 
noticing anything wrong, till this morning when I 
discovered the errors myself. I trust this letter will 
be in time to stop the names from being published 
'wrongly. But if not, attention might be drawn to 
the fact at my request and the matter set right. 
You will oblige me by taking immediate action so as 
to save the Proprietors and Superintendents of the 
estates annoyance.— Yours very truly, 
J. J. Grinlinton, 
Special Commissioner hx Ceyloa World's Columbian

FLUSH WORM IN TEA. 
The ntnie of this troublesome little insect baa not 
yet been fixid. Some oil it citeipilisr which ia right 
in a way, but is too broad in it^ meaning to at ouce 
inriicate, what is meant. 1 prefer the term Fluah 
Worm or Leaf Rol er (as it used to bee tiled.; 
I pat three of tbtso liitle creatures under a shade 
with a few tea Ira^eJ for them lo feed oq (ibey 
make a powerful lot of manure please note; aud ink 
few days like Pharaoh's kini*. one bad d< vouied tbe 
other two and bad become a cremendouacize. A few 
d'lys later the woim became a cbrysalis, from which 
eoQerged a pietty mo:b with 2 graEs-bo|/prr like l«>ge 
aet tiebind, with which it moved smartly away. (Tni 
Chloroform with which I used to settle tbe creature 
nearly cettled me.) 
I gave tbe moth and one cater|.il!ar to some Agri- 
cultural itudeots to procure for me a scientific report, 
giving a fall array of technical terms, but they, alas! 
did not keep their proiniee to do so and so lor ihe 
time being my labour has ,beeQ lost and tte world 
of Plaoters deprived of much atelui informacion. 
The practice on some eatates of picking off Fiasb- 
Worm leaf and throning it down, it uselesi as a pre- 
ventative, 88 the worms ciaxl oat and get on to 
the tree again. I had a basket of leaves left in my 
verandah to see what would happea, aud in tbe 
morning I found the roof of the verandah eofered 
with tbe wcrm. 
1 now have tbe leaf separately brought in and tbe 
whole (50 lb, out of 1,000) boned or burnt ; but if 
my neighbour j rear fine breeds of moths that come 
flying in, of what use is my work? 
I think it would be as well to offer rewards for 
tbe moths and to regaiaily bring lu and barn all 
poochie leaf. Tbe womnn can ladly bring in tbe 
leaf ssparately in their oleths da ly, and tbe ez>ra 
cott is say 3 pies a lb or 8 annas a day on a large estate 
picking 1,000 lb. daily. 
I am going to offer rewards today for tbe moths 
at 1 pie per moth tor a start am will report rebult. 
I do not think many moths will be found in these 
cold months. Septr-mtier is the month of active 
insect life and it is thea we must lo'>k oat. —
