Ten of these species devour the root and crown of the plant, all 
loleoptera but one, which is the larva of a moth. The leaf and its 
etiole are attacked by two of the Hymenoptera, by all the Lepid- 
| ptera except two, by the single dipteron, by eight of the Coleop- 
3ra, by both of the Orthoptera, by five of the Hemiptera, and by 
ae red mite. The flower and fruit are damaged by the ant, the 
talk-borer, one of the leaf-rollers, by a snout beetle, by two plant 
ugs, and by the myriapod. 
Less than a fourth of the known enemies of the strawberry really 
eriously injure it in a way to demand earnest effort for their sup¬ 
pression, the remainder being too few in number or too local in 
heir occasional outbreaks, to do more than threaten the crop with 
ossible future mischief. Of these enemies of the strawberry of the 
rst class, but two devour the leaf—-the strawberry slug and the 
mf-roller; four attack the roots—the white grubs and the three 
Dot-worms; one bores the crown—the crown-borer; and two injure 
he fruit—the tarnished and the dusky plant bugs.
