houses and a heavy infestation in cold frames containing stock 
plants of azaleas at Baltimore. 
BLISTER- BEETLES (Meloidae) 
E, \7. Mendenhall (July 2b): I find the "blister "beetles doing 
some damage to Clemati s paniculata in the southwestern part of 
the State. Spraying with arsenate of lead ms effective. (July 19) t 
The gray "blister beetle, Macrobasis unicolor Kir "by, is very 
destructive to Clematis paniculata at Columbus. The arsenate of 
lead is valuable. 
. A FTEULID MOTH ( Hcrculia nlanalis Grt. ) 
6. G. Bab cock (June 28) : The bushes of Algerita are badly 
infested with the above moth. The larvae are webbing and eating 
away all the leaves near by. These bushes are native, the berries 
being gathered by the population and made into excellent jelly. 
The moths appeared in cages on May 11, 19, 22, 2U, and 26. The 
larvae are now two— thirds grown. The infestation was severe 
last year and appears to be more se^re this year.
