californicu's Mann, were found feeding on nearly every pea plant examined 
in lowland on "Doth sides of a small stream near Athena, Umatilla County,

Washington. W. W. Baker (May 12): Five specimens have been swept from clover, 
grass, mustard, Rumex acetosella , and. equisetum growing near the labora- 
tory at Fuyallup. Attempts to find it on heather have so far been unsuc- 
cessful.

Florida. J. R. Watson (May 22): This insect, which was discovered last year 
for the first time" in a small section of .Okaloosa County and adjacent 
parts of Alabama, is again active. The. grubs are doing severe damage over 
a limited area. In some fields a third of the cotton plants were being
