re preservative at Gulfpcrt, under date of August U, that the 
tomato suckfly has been found at Ocean Springs for the first 
time. 
EGGPLA2JT LEA? MIHEH (Phthor imaea glochinella Zell.) 
California A, W, Morrill (August 10); Larvae common en leaves, 5 to 10 
specimens found on sods plants in San Onofre, San Diego County* 
Infestation of fruit estimated a? ah out 5 per ccnt„ As the crop 
is being grown for seed and the vorms confine attacks to stem 
ends of fruits there is no appreciable damage at present. Considerable 
damage to shipping tomatoes later in the season is indicated. This 
appears to he a new locality record for this species. 
A MIRID (gyrtopeltis varians Dist« ( En^ytatu s genicu latu s 
Reut.) 
California A. 17* Morrill (August 10): Mosaic disease was very general and loss 
from this source will probably amount to at least 15 per cent at 
San Onofre, San Diego County . Only two species of insects present 
which might have acted as carriers, an aphid and the mirid. In 
no place were insects of either group abundant enough to cause 
direct damage. If mosaic was insect borne this active mirid is more 
likely to have been principal factor. Estimated 5 specimens per 
plant, nymphs and .adults in proportion of U to 1.
