STRAWBERRY WEEVIL ( Anthonomus signatus Say) 
W. A. Thomas (Anril 14): The strawberry weev.j.1 has been 
unusually destructive in both the Chadbourn and Burlaw districts 
this season, owing to the prolonged cold spring and corres^cncing 
late setting of fruit, Weevil emergence began on March 10, 
but there was little field activity until April 4. Since this 
date some fields have almost ceased blooming, owing to weevil 
injury. 
A BEETLE ( Tylo derma movbilloss Lee . ) 
Wm. W. Baker (April 10): Adults feeding on the leaf and 
also the petiole; the eees are laid in the punctures on the 
petiole but so far no eg^s have been observed; specimens were 
taken while mating, however. (April 16): Eggs were obtained 
today from caged females in the laboratory; no opportunity 
for field observations today. 
STRAWBERRY ROOT WEEVIL ( Brachyrhinus ova tus L.) 
Win. W. Baker (April 10): Adults of this soecies are found 
to be quite numerous but very few larvae have been found, which 
is rather different from what we usually find at this time cf 
the year. Adults were also reported to be very abundant in new 
fields close to clover sod at Vancouver, but no statements v/ere 
made in regard to the numbers of larvae in the sod.
