* The above series of entries—from “ Attacks, 
range of, in England and Scotland, 1881,” to 
“ Water, use of, to press on first growth,” in¬ 
clusive—are extracted from my Special Report on 
the great attack of “ Turnip Fly ” in 1881; and— 
though placed under the head of the species 
nemorum of the Haltica or Phyllotreta, on 
account of this being one of our most common 
kinds—are not to he considered as referring 
exclusively to this species. In the great area 
infested by Haltica (known as Turnip Fly, or 
Flea Beetle), other species of the genus were 
doubtless present, though not often mentioned, 
and the notes of habits, and preventive and 
remedial measures are equally applicable to the 
whole of the infestation known as “ Fly ” or 
Flea Beetle.—E. A. O.
