OUR INSECT PESTS.
Letter from Professor Riley, the Wash
ington Entomologist.

ington Entomologist.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Commissioner Marsden of
the Bureau of Agriculture from Pro-
feSsor Riley, the Government entomol-
ogist attached to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, d. c., and
one of the best-known scientists in the
United States
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE, DIVISION OF ENTo.
MoLoGY.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July I7,I893.
DEAR SIR: have the honor to &C
knowledge the receipt of your letter of
recent date, transmitting specimens of
scale insect which is threatening
serious damage to your citrus and other
fruit trees occurring on the Hawaiian
Islands. The specimens which you
send are OF extreme interest,", and re-
greet that ! am unable to give you any
definite information concerning them.
The species is entirely new to me, and
has never been recorded as fruit pest
before, SO far as | can find 1t belongs
to the genus RhizOcOccHS. If you will
have the kindness to send me further
material, transmitting living specimens
in position upon the twigs, you will
enable me to study the different forms
to the best advantage, and | shall then
describe the new species and give it a
definite name. The species of the
genus RhisOcOCcHS, as general thing,
are not noted as seriously destructive
in this country, with the possible ex-
ception of Il. aY0cayie, which lives
upon the Norfolk Island pine We,
therefore, know little or nothing con.
corning their natural enemies, and there
is probably little to hope for in the way
of securing a predaceous or parasitic
insect which will rid you of the pest.
You will probably, therefore, have to
confne your remedial work to the APP
plication of insecticide washes or the
adoption of the hydrocyanic acid gas
treatment. | enclose FIR your informa-
ton copy of Farmers Bulletin No.
IL of this department, which gives in
formation concerning the different
spraying mixtures, and also send you
by accompanying mail copy of Bulle-
tin No 80, which gives, on pages 30 to
81, full account of the gas treatment,
| This latter treatment ic cop,ip1 into
general use in California against the
red scale (ASbidiOtnS aHrantii), and il
your crops warrant the expense, you
will probably find it worth while to
adopt it.
am very glad to receive these
specimens from you and hope that you
will not fail 10 send in other material
| should be most glad, in fact, to cor
respond with you on the subject of the
Injurious insects Of your island and to
receive specimens from you at any
time, Yours very truly,
c. v RILEY,
Entomologist
Marsden, Esquire,
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Forestry Honolulu, Hawaii.
In connection with the above Com
missioner Marsden will forward tc
Washington by the Australia an assert,
ment of island parasites, as requested
He will be obliged to any one who viii
furnish him with any new kinds of in

his motive was the fact that he felt he did
not possess the power or the authority to
solve the financial problem with which he
was brought in contact.

the debates on the army bill Was often
strongly commented upon. His elarinG
autagonism to his Bavarian colleague,
General Won Safferting, in the recent fod-
der debate. was most unfortunate. Tho
emperor was chagriued that Bavaria
should have discounted Prussia and let
fall remarks that were repeated tn Kalten-

but to resign.
The emperor has ordered that no army
maneuvers be held anywhere in Germany
unless It Is absolutely certain that the
district in which IL Is proposed to hold
them will not be damaged.
The comments in tho papers here on
the Franco-Sia mese dispute are listless
