R. W. Burrell reports: "The first Australian shipment of oriental 
fruit moth parasites, containing 2,470 cocoons of Perisierola sp., was 
Shipped to Moorestown, N. J., October 6." After overcoming considerable 
difficulties in the way of carrying stock through to pupation, Mr. Bur- 
rell has been able to breed four successive generations and to obtain 
a surplus for shipment. The second shipment, also containing Perisier— 
ola sp., left Australia October 27. 
Mr. Burrell also states: "The determination of another fairly com— 
mon parasite has been obtained. This is Eurytoma pyrrhocera Crawford, the 
third most common parasite of the Sydney district. A. P. Dodd, of the 
prickly-—pear investigations, considers that Burrell's Stomatoceras bred 
from L. molesta may be identical with his S. fasciatipennis, a common 
parasite of Cactoblastis cactorum Berg. Another rather large unknown 
ichneumonid parasite has been discovered which occurs in the Sydney and 
Mooroopna districts. It has been found that it attacks the host pupae, 
the larvae feeding externally within the host cocoon." 
F. P. Dean, Yakima, Wash., "has compiled the results of his labora- 
tory tests of insecticides on the eggs and larvae of the codling moth, 
and some very interesting things are indicated," according to E. J. New-— 
comer, who says: "The laboratory tests indicate that a 1 per cent emul-—- 
sion (containing approximately 0.8 per cent. oil) kills about 90 per cent 
of the eggs, while 1/2 per cent emulsion (0.4 per cent oil) kills about 
75 per cent. Fish oil has been suggested as a sticker for various spray 
materials, and its possible egg—destroying value has been investigated. 
At 1 quart to 100 gallons (0.25 per cent) it killed approximately 50 per 
cent of the eggs, while at 0.05 per cent it killed only 20 per cent. 
Rotenone at 1/2 pound to 100 gallons, dissolved in acetone, killed 53 
per cent of the eggs sprayed, but as less than 100 eggs were used, and
