2ASP3E33Y BUD' MITE ( Erionhyes graciill s Hal.) 
Washington Wm. W. Baker (March): • Mit^s were found, on every thimble- 
berry bush, Rubus narvifloius Nutt. and examined from sever- 
al localities in Pierce and Ki'ig Counties; s'gme of these 
were miles from any known cr'tivatcd berries. In the case 
of the thimble!) erry the mites were practically all located 
on the inside of the buds and at the junction of healthy &ad 
injured tissue^making it-, appear very much as though the. 
mites were responsible for the injury. Hot a single field 
examined from several pl;^*es around Sumner, Puyallup, Orting, 
Tacoma and Bellevue were i'ree from the mi'te;. In some cases 
there was a little evidence of injury but this was rare.
