oranges, and avocados. Vegetables seen were tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, okra, 
sweetpotatoes, yams, onions, cassava, palm hearts, etc. 
Eighty-eight larvae and two puparia of Anastrepha sp. were taken in yellow 
hog plums; and 12 larvae and 1 puparium of Anastrepha sp. in chili plums, 
hut no adult trypetids were collected nor was there sufficient time to rear 
adults from the immature stages noted. 
Among the important injurious insects other than fruit flies taken in Guade- 
loupe were the following: Phthia picta damaging 10 percent of the tomatoes; 
Nezara viridula on solanaceous foliage; larvae of Anthonomus sp. and Anarsia 
sp. in fruit of Eugenia sp. ; Xyleborus confusus in guavas; Leptoglossus go- 
nagra, L. stigma, and Diaprepes abbrcviatus on guava ; Trachyderes succinctus 
on guava and mango ; and Diabrotica ochreata on yellow hog plum ; etc. 
Martinique, French West Indies 
Martinique has a well-developed system of roads, which made it possihle to 
reach practically every section of the island (Aug. 27-Sept. 5. 1931), viz. Fort 
de France and vicinity, Tivoli, La Kodate, Colson, Deux Choux, St. James, St. 
Pierre, Morne Rouge, Ajoupe Bouillon, Lorain, Marigot, St. Marie, Trinite, 
Gros Morne, St. Joseph, Robert, Francois, Lamentin, Montte, Ducos, Petit 
Bourg, St. Esprit, Vauclin, Marin, and Riv. Pilote. 
Mangoes were almost gone at the time of this survey and guavas not yet 
mature, the principal ripe fruit available in abundance being yellow hog plums. 
Other fruits examined were breadfruit, guavas, chili plums, bananas, plantains, 
cocoa, coffee berries, mamey apples, limes, passion fruit, cocoa plums, soursops, 
cherimoyas, sapodillas, golden apples, sour oranges, immature sweet oranges,

As a result of examinations made in the field and at the public market in 
Fort de France, it was found that Anastrepha sp. were present at 13 different 
locations on the island, reaching from Morne Rouge in the north to Rivre Pilote 
in the south. Three adults of Anastrepha acidusa were collected on yellow 
hog plum and 112 larvae and 2 puparia of Anastrepha sp. were taken in the same 
host. 
Among the important injurious insects other than fruit flies taken in 
Martinique was Diabrotica fucata on guava and mango. 
St. Lucia, British West Indies 
The splendid road which nearly encircles St. Lucia made it possible to visit

Two hundred and sixty-eight larvae and two puparia of Anastrepha sp. 
were found in yellow hog plums and five adults of Anastrepha acidusa were 
taken on this host. Sixty-six adults of A. acidusa were also collected on the 
leaves of cocoa, as well as 1 on Lauraceae and 1 on lime. These infestations 
were found at 13 different localities on the island. 
Among the important injurious insects other than fruit flies were the fol- 
lowing: A species of Anthonomus in 10 percent of the fruit of Eugenia sp. 
in which there were also found larvae of a species of Gelechiidae. Leptoglossus 
stigma was taken on yellow hog plum, and about the electric light in the hotel 
room were many well-known injurious insects, such as Cyclocephala sp., 
Passalus unicornis Serv., Cryptorhynchus sp., Herse cingulata Merian, etc. 
Dominica, British West Indies 
Due to the extremely mountainous nature of Dominica and its heavy annual 
rainfall, roads were very scarce and those available found to be in very poor 
condition. Field trips were made on September 14-^21, 1931, however, to the
