considerable strip of o,oen, i)lov/8d gco'^o/J., ard had begun to 
feed on a srjall planting of stra'/zberrie?;, working in from the

quite abundantly before the attaclc and Sv^emed to bo particularly 
attractive to the caterpillars., aud the iaxvae were threatening 
to do considerable drcmage if unchecke'l. Within a few days 
they had completely defoliated a considerable area of the bed.
