Horth Carolina. W. A. Thomas (July 8): This insect is unusually abundant on 
developing peaches at Chadbourn. As iiany as six to eight have "been oh served 
on a single peach, leaving punctures over practically all the surface. Hardly 
a peach on some trees lias "been exempt from this attach. The work of this 
insect is characterized by dozens of minute punctures over the outer shin with 
darher areas around those punctures in the flesh of the peach. This insect is 
also abundant on developing cowpeas where the whole pod is speckled with the 
punctures. In many cases the attach is so severe as to cause the young pods 
to dry up before the seeds arc formed within.
