AN ANOIATA ( Anomala undulata Melsh. ) 
R» W* Harned (April 25): A lot of these beetles were 
received from Agricola '-here they ^ere found on February 26 # 
The correspondent who collected them stated that they 
appeared just at dusk in large numbers and attacked pear and 
fig trees. Very few were present the next morning, although 
a few were noticed the second night. They were only noticed 
in large numbers on one night. Our correspondent states: IT The 
peculiar thing about, them was that they collected on a few 
trees only that had just been set out and did not harm trees 
that had been set the previous year that were growing nearby. 
The leaves of the 1 newly set trees 'were wilted and that might 
have attracted the beetles." '
