PJISFB^ESY FRUIT WORM ( By turns -onicolor Say) 
W. W. Baker (March 13); Observed attacking loganberry at 
Auburn. This is the earliest date at which I liave ever found 
the adults above ground. This may lia.ve been due to the fact 
that the soil was flooded for a couple of weeks. However, the 
adults in the soil were apparently toinjured by the standing 
water.
