Indiana. J. J. Davis (September 3): Larvae received from Ca^pbellsburg, 
Washington County. Had infested an acreage of soybeans and suddenly, died 
of a fungus disease, owing, no doubt, to excessive rains. The fungus was 
determined by V. K. Charles as Spicar ia riley\ .

VETCH 
VETCH BRUCH ID ( Bruchus brachialis Eahr. ) 
Oregon. L. P. Rockwood (September 6): On August 27 a commercial seed analyst 
discovered live specimens of a bruchid in three samples of hairy vetch 
seed. Upon tracing the infested seed to its source, it was found to have 
originated on three separate farms located in northern Clackamas County, 
which contains no vetch acreage of qommercial importance and for that 
reason had not been under the close 'surveillance exercised recently over 
the important vetch-seed-producing counties of the State, A hasty survey 
of seed-cleaning mills resulted in the further discovery of five additional 
lots of infested seed from Clackamas County and one from Marion County, 
respectively, (Det. by H. S'. Barber.) 
Washington. M. Reeher (September 20): Mere recent inspections have resulted in 
the finding of adults on windows and sacks of vetch seed in seed cleaning 
mills at Vancouver, Clark County, and Woodland, Cowlitz County,. Wash. It 
was not possible to determine from what farms the seed cane, but there is no 
doubt that it originated in either Clark or Cowlitz County, or in both. 
The. pr-'sent known distribution, therefore, apparently extends about 25 miles 
north and south of Portland, Oreg.
