CATTL E 
HORN FLY CHaematobia irritans L.) 
lWasachusetts E«R rt Farrar (August 15.). "Horn flies are very muchlanore trouble- 
some than usual in Lincoln County this year*" 
STABLE FLY ( Stomoxvs calcitrans L.) 
Texas F.CBishopp (July 27)* "Stable flies were quite annoying in the 
vicinity of Dallas up to about the latter part of June. During 
July these flies were of no material consequence as stock 
pests." 
BLACK BLOWFLY ( Phormia regina Meig.) 
Texas F^C.Bishopp (July 27), "This fly fcas practically disappeared in 
Texas. It was extremely numerous during the spring and caused 
heavy losses among sheep raisers in the western part of the State. 
Some stated that thee© were more wool maggots this spring than 
has been experienced for years." 
BLOWFLY ( Calliphora vomit oria L.) 
Texas F»C»Bishopp (July 27). "There was a marked decrease in the 
number of blowflies about July 1st. This insect, which has been 
causing unusual trouble around packing houses during the spring 
is now of little consequence and trapping operations have been 
curtailed." 
SCREW-WORM ( Chrvsomva macellaria F ab.) 
Texas F«C«Bishopp (July 27), "After about July 10 screw-worm cases, 
which had been rather more numerous than normal in southwest 
Texas, began to subside materially. This is undoubtedly 
associated with the hot, dry weather which has s6t in over much 
of the range country." 
POULTRY 
FOWL TICK ( Areas minatus Koch) 
Mississippi R.W Harned (August 17) • "The fowl tick was collected by Mr. 
E.K.Bynum at Biloxi on August 2. These ticks were very abundant 
in a poultry house. This i3 the first authentic record we have 
of the occurrence of this insect in Mississippi. They were ,- 
determined by Mr. F.C.Bishopp, of the Bureau of Entomology. So .v 
far we have not been able to determine how these ticks reached ^ 
Mississippi, or how long they have been present."
