(Cedrela serrata, Royle) is also attacked and to a less extent 
the walnut (Fuglans regia, Linn.). 
Protection and Remedies. 
It has not been stated where the larve spin their rough 
cocoons, but it is probable that it is in exposed places, such as 
the bark of the main stem, branches, or on adjacent stems, etc. 
I would suggest, therefore, if the insect makes its appearance 
in nurseries of young walnut, that these hairy cocoons should 
be carefully searched for, collected, and destroyed. Since the 
insect spends some ten months of its life cycle in the Western 
Himalayas in this stage, this collection should not present any 
great difficulties, 
The pest is doubtlessly kept in check to some extent by the 
parasitic flies with which numbers of the cocoons were infected. 
A determination of the species of these flies has not yet been 
effected. 
Points tn the life history requiring further observation :— 
1. Where the rough hairy cocoons are spun by the larva 
before it changes into the pupal state. 
2. The life history of the insect in Lower Burma. It 
will doubtless prove to have at least two genera- 
tions in the year in the damp hot climate of that 
locality. 
3. The food-plants of the insect in Burma.
