N. E. Howard (::ry 2): She red-legged ham beetle was extremely 
numerous in a carload of package sorp fron Cincinnati received 
at Athens. Pieces of ccpr-- were found in the car hut no evidence 
was obtained that the beetle had been feeding on this material. 
It is possible that the err had been used for the shipment of 
hides or some other animal material. 
RICE '.TEEVIL ( Caiendra oryzae L.) 
R. C. Smith (May 6): Feterita heads in the field at Drunien 
are tremendously infested with the rice weevil. Grain not 
promptly fumigated after threshing is quickly ruined. Several 
weeks ago I watched some natives threshing out some petit maize 
which is the native grain sorghum and saw the ground a crawling 
mass of these insects around the pile of grain and heads.
