dividual Luetics have been found in several freight yards outside 
the regulated area, the indications being that they were carried 
there in or on cars of non-agricultural freight from the heavily 
infested di strict s, tfhile it- is not ' practicable to change the 
quarantine line during the scouting season, provision is made to 
restrict the movement of any nursery stock or farm products from 
the outside points when the beetle has been found recently estab- 
lished. Most of the finds outside the regulated area have thus 
far occurred in built up -residential areas. Cold, rainy Weather 
during August retarded the activity of the beetles, and may re- 
sult in greatly reducing the natural sore ad of the insect during 
1927. 
Monthly Letter, Bur. Ent. , Uo. 159 (July, 1927): After having been 
colonized for three years in the Japanese beetle area, the single- 
generation dexiid parasite Prosena siberita has finally been recov- 
ered at the Moorsetown, N. J., colony center. This is' the third 
imported parasite of the Japanese beetle to have been recovered, 
the other two being the tachin'id Centeter c ine re a , which destroys 
the beetles, and the scoliid Tiphia popillivora , attacking the 
grub stage. 
Monthly News Letter, Bur. Ent., No. 159 (July, 1927): In the pres- 
ent season the colonizations of Prosena siberita , Qchrome igenia 
ormioides . Tiphia vernali s, and the so-called "Japanese red-leg- 
ged" Tiphia have been much larger and more satisfactory than in 
former years. This achievement has been due in large measure to 
the excellence of the shipments from Japan, and to the gradual 
improvement in the technique of handling at the receiving station,
