Since that time and with the assistance of Mr. S. J. Cotter, Sucretary-Trensurer of the Dominion lIoivGrowers' Association, I have worked out tho life history of this por,t. The Hrst notice I find in literature of tho Hop-vino Boror is by Dr. liethune, in the Report of tho Itlntomological Society of Ontario for 1872, page 3;'{, whore a detailed description is given of some larvjo which wore found injuring hops by gnawing tho stems at tho crown. Canadian entomologists have from time to time tried to i<lon- tify that insect. I hAVO now no doubt that tho larvto described were of //. immanis. In tho Canadian Entomologist, vol. XIV, 1882, p. !).'{, is an interostini; article by C. R.
