Eulecanium Fitchi, Sign. This seems to be a very serious pest. The specimens sent by Dr. Fletcher came from Mr. J. D. Evans, of Trenton, Ont., and the scales were infesting a plot of six acres of blackberry bushes, just as they were about ready for the market. Fortunately, however, of the first lot received, over one half of the scales were destroyed by a fungus, and of the second lot, about one third at least. Trenton is a new locality for this scale. In addition, the scale insects were infested to a remarkable extent by two species of Hyperaspis and two species oi Chalcid parasites.
