Brazil 
The authors arrived at Para, Brazil, by airplane from the island of Trinidad 
on November 5, 1931, and continued on to Rio de Janeiro by same, reaching 
that point on November 8. After making a survey of the State of Rio de 
Janeiro and the Federal District, a return trip was taken up the coast to Per- 
nambuco by steamer, after which the survey was carried down to the State of 
Bahia and back to Rio de Janeiro. The next State visited was that of Minaa 
Geraes, which was reached by railroad, and after its completion and a return 
to Rio de Janeiro the State of Sao Paulo was surveyed. 
During the period of the survey in Brazil (November 5. 1931-January 1, 
1932), fruit-fly infestations were found at 37 different locations. Three hun- 
dred and seventy-six adult fruit flies were collected on 30 different hosts : 1,698 
larvae were taken from 22 different hosts, and there were reared out of (301 
larvae taken from 11 of these different hosts 357 adults and 11 parasites. 
To simplify the recording cf data gathered during these investigations, each 
State in Brazil is treated separately.
