CURRANT APHIDES. {llliijpiih)^ipln{ui i-ihis, Linn., and i\fii:iis rihlfi, Linn.) All tliree \'arieties of currants are often attacked l)y Aphides or riant Lice. jVt least two species are cul[)rits. Purinrr 1901 currant buslies were considerably damaged liv them. In some districts the l]ushes were quite I'liined. tlie lea\"es turned Vn'own and shrivelled up, and the fruit fell ofl\ the bunches " shank- ing " in conserpience of tlie abnormal presence of these pests. The rapid increase of tlie " riant Lice " was due to a long spell of drv, warm weather, so favouralile to tlie development of tliese insects, so detrimental to the devehiji- inent of tlie fruit and health of the bushes. Aphides are usually more or less ]) leut on currants, and are always liable under cert;nn climatic cniiditions, such as existed during dune 10t)l, to increase to an injurious extent. The two currant species nicutioued work in a slightly dilferent way. One, 11. , was at one time tliouglit to produce reddish, redib'sh-brown, or yellow blister-like galls on tlie suil'ace of the leaves, whilst 3Ii/.:us I' often causes the lea\es to curl up, especially cm the top slioots. Both species ai'e ecpially dilhcult to destroy after. ]''â "â .âeL'i;i;.\NT ^. wr
