» Corrected from the mimeographed edition of this circular. 
Similar tables have been issued in previous years, that for 1930 being given 
on pages 70 and 71 of No. 107 of the Service and Regulatory Announcements of 
the administration. 
The total number of narcissus bulbs of all types reported as inspected in 
1931 amounted to 374,265,694. About 60 per cent of these are Paper Whites 
and other polyanthus varieties and about 40 per cent are of the daffodil types. 
Growers estimate that from 20 to 30 per cent of the total number inspected is 
available for interstate movement during any one year. 
Infestations with eel worms (Tylenchus dipsaci or Aphelenchus subtenuis) 
were reported in 1931 as to one or more plantings in California, Florida, Geor- 
gia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, 
North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. In 
addition to the records for the year 1931, eelworms had previously been reported 
on properties in Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio, Rhode Island, South 
Carolina, Texas, and Utah. Some of these properties have not since been 
reported as inspected, and infestation may possibly still be persisting in them. 
Greater bulb flies (Merodon equestris) were reported in California, Illinois, 
New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. They have also been 
found in previous years in Ohio, Rhode Island, Utah, and Virginia. 
Lesser bulb flies (Eumerus spp.) were reported from California, Georgia, Illi- 
nois, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Ore- 
gon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington. They have also been 
reported in previous years in narcissus plantings in Kansas, Minnesota, Rhode 
Island, and Wisconsin.
