anime and classify the Insect and the

this examination.
Washington. ID. C.. May B.-Dear bir--
The Insect which you send has no popu-
lar name, bat Is known scientifically Us
coInpsus auricephalus. II IL native OF
your State, moderately abundant on va
rious herbaceous plants and occasionhlly
occurs on cotton. II feeds on the leaves,
and has not before been known 70 appear
In large numbers. II has not yet proven
10 be injurious. Its earlier stages sttli
remain unknown, but the larva feeds no
doubt on the roots OF some wild growing
herbac.oua plant. Its occurrence In such
numbers upon cotton Z 80 unusual tnat
I am constrained to think that perhaps
there has been some mistake. Has not
the damage been done by u less conspicu-
GUS insect. say. Tor example. the boil Wee
vi and the Insect which you send mis-
taken for the real culprtt on account OF
IN. numbers In which II occursI II the
latter Is responsible for the damage, u
is an entirely new thing, and imaxins.
not likely TO occur again, :, The proba.
Utilities are that the weevils Will soon
