Ye have found the young of both the above species feeding upon 
leaves of the strawberry in considerable numbers in Southern 
nois. Mr. F. S. Earle wrote me in July, 1882: “A few days 
) I noticed some ‘flocks’ of young grasshoppers [probably of this 
cies] that were literally eating up some strawberry plants. They 
:e quite small, apparently just hatched, and there were not enough 
them to do any serious harm, but they made a clean sweep as 
y went.”

his is by far the most destructive known enejny to the straw- 
ry, often utterly ruining the field, year after year, wherever it 
i a foothold and is not effectively checked by artificial measures; 
, fortunately, although it has caused the strawberry growers of 
tral and Northern Illinois and of adjacent States the loss of 
ay thousands of dollars, a mode of arresting its ravages, first 
posed by my predecessor, Dr. Thomas, has served completely to 
ck its progress and to bring it under the easy control of the 
ticulturist. It has not hitherto been reported as injurious to the 
thward, but has been regarded as a northern species. This 
ndant and destructive strawberry leaf-roller, which has for 
3ral years been on the lists under the name of Anchylopera 
'arice or Phoxopteris fragarice, proves to be identical with a' Euro- 
n species (originally described in 1828), which seems not to have 
i reported as feeding upon the strawberry at all in the old world; 
ougli, according to Prof. Fernald, it lives there upon several 
era and species of the same family of plants as that to which 
strawberry belongs, and also upon at least two species of 
latae.
