strated its practicability, reliability, and economy of operation in spite of minor
weaknesses which developed under field use.
In conclusion, it is pointed out that weather conditions will always affect the
dusting problem. Appearances thus far in Alabama indicate that every effort
should be made to continue dusting at the usual 4- or 5-day intervals in spite of
threatening weather during periods of frequent rains. If, however, the weather
is sufficiently hot and dry for a period of more than a month, and especially
during the first part of the fruiting season, the weevils may be controlled thereby
so fully that dusting will not be needed or will not pay.
Parasitism by Aphiochaeta (Phora) fasciata Fallen, J.-L. LICHTENSTEIN
(Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. [Paris], 170 (1920), No. 9, pp. 531-534, figs. 3).-The
author finds A. fasciata to be a true parasite of the nymphs of Coccinellidae.
The female invariably oviposits on nymphs, always waiting until the last
stage. The eggs are deposited externally on the host, and several may be placed
on the same nymph. The larva emerges in 1.5 or 2 days and penetrates the
host, not more than three or four being able to complete their development in
a nymph.

effect of various methods of treatment after preliminary drying.
