maugoes, Lucitma fruits, Inga potls, avocados, loquats, Barbados cherries, apri- 
cots, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tangerines, papayas, melons, and 
watermelons. Vegetables seen included cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, green 
beans, string beans, potatoes, sweetpotatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, let- 
tuce, radishes, and onions. 
Fruitfly infestations were found at 11 different points, 10 of these being in 
the fluvial area of Guayatpiil and 1 in the zone east of Ambato. A total of 
172 larvae and puparia of Anastrcpha spp. were taken in the following four 
fruits: Guava, Iiiga pods, grapefruit, and apples. It was noted at the time 
of this survey that guavas were the only fruits that were fully mature. 
Twenty-two adults of Auastrcplia striata Schiner, 15 of Aiiastrepha distans 
Hendel, and 4 of Anastrcpha Icptozoiia Hendel were reared from the larvae 
found in guavas. Thirty-four adults of ^i. (lisfans were collected from four 
hosts as follows: Guava, orange, sugarcane, and Eufienia sp. They were also 
found on collectors' hands and clothing. Fourteen adults of A. lepto.'^ona were 
collected from fruit and foliage of guavas. No other fruittlies were taken. 
The above survey may be summarized by stating that the genus Auastrepha 
inf(^sts various fruits in the fluvial area about Guayaquil, including the adja- 
cent foothills of the Andes to an altitude of 3,000 feet, and in the area east 
of Ambato up to an altitude of 6,000 feet to the source of Rio Napo (Amazonas). 
The high plateau of Quito northward to Ibarra may not be infested with fruit- 
flies.

PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, REPUBLIC OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA 
March 23, 1937. 
The item under the caption "Importation Unrestricted" on page 2 of B. E. 
P. Q. 366, reading: "Cut flowers, seeds, bulbs, and tubers free from soil, grape 
seeds, and vegetables" is amended to read : "Seeds, including grape seeds." 
IMPORTATION OF LIVING PLANTS FROM THE UNITED STATES PIJOHIBITBH) 
Section II, article 1, Precautions against San Jose scale (B. E. P. Q. 366, 
p. 14), prohibits the importation into Czechoslovakia of living plnnts, seedlings, 
cuttings, scions, and other separated parts of plants, including l)u.lbs, tubers, 
rhizomes, etc., from the United States, among other countries. The prohibi- 
tion does not apply to seeds or to fresh fruits and vegetables (see B. E. P. Q. 
366. art. 3, p. 15, nnd supplement no. 1), unless those products are found to be 
contaminated by San Jose scale on arrival in Czechoslovakia, 
Since the importation of plants and parts thereof from the United States 
is thus prohibited by the San Jose scale restrictions, the phylloxera restrictions 
(pp. 12 and 13, B. E. P. Q, 366) are not applicable to such products of the 
United States,
