Fig. 1.— Young Citrus Showing Leaves of Top Shoots Deformed by 
Attacks of a Leaf-Miner (Phyllocnistis citrella>. 
At certain times of the year in northern India practically all new growth on young trees is 
affected by this insect. (Original.) 
Fig. 2.— Cloth Cages Placed Over Young Citrus to Protect them from 
the Ravages of this Leaf-Miner. 
The destruction of young foliage on trees as soon as it appeared necessitated artificial 
manipulation m order to avoid the leaf-miner (Phyllocnistis citrella). Two cloth cages 
were constructed, and in these were placed potted plants. After several hand pickings 
the plants were freed of the leaf-miners, and the cloth protection permitted the young 
foliage to develop. (Original.)
