oe Since the publication of J. Neitner’s ‘The Enemies of the Coffee ‘Lree,’ many new enemies 
ote made their appearance, notably the Lecanium viride, which has practically wiped out coffee 
oa ation in many districts. Its vigour, and the rapidity with which itis propagated, have 
efeated any remedial measures that we could afford to apply, and consequently planters are 
everywhere turning their attention to the cultivation of tea in the place of coffee.” —K. EF. Green. 
Ma. 5 Dactylopius adonidum, Linneeus, has been present upon most all plants. It is the scale 
_that has marred the coffee industry in the Islands then Sandwich Islands, H. T.] ever since the 
ae was made to grow the tree, over fifty years since, by its large numbers sitting round and 
sucking out the sap of the young berries, producing a premature colouring and dropping of the 
init: It likewise lives upon the roots, not only ¢f the coffee, but many other trees and plants in 
the tropics."—A. Koebele. Report of Entomologist of Hawaiian Government, 1896. Plant. 
Month, Honolulu, February, 1897, pages 68 and 69.
