At Ottawa we have found these galls irregular, smooth and potato-like rather oftener than elongated as shown in the figure. The only suggestion in the way of a remedy is to cut out the infested portions of the Fig. 58. Rose Root-gall. Tortrix alhicomana, Clem. The small caterpillars of this well known little Tortrix moth were very abundant and destructive to the leaves of Jap- anese Rose at Ottawa during the past summer. They were particularly abundant about the middle of June and moths were flying in large numbers around the bushes on July 8, on which date Dr. Fletcher collected many specimens. Archips pifrpurana, Clem. Several specimens of the larva of this com- mon, rather small, moth, were found at Ottawa by Dr. Fletcher during the past season in his cultivated beds of wild violets. No serious injury was done to the plants and the specimens when discovered were removed by hand. The Hoary Plume, Pterophorus Tnonodactylus, L. During the past season at Ottawa the small green caterpillars, much the same colour as the leaves of their food plant, of this plume moth were found to be very destruc- tive to the Minor Convolvulus. These larvse which were most abundant in September were found to be eating the flower buds and leaves at the tips, entirely preventing the plants from developing any flowers. Associated also with this species was the tineid BedelUa somnuIenteUa, Zell, which helped to some extent in the injury. Leaf Miner in Leaves of Lonicera. During some seasons at Ottawa the leaves of one of the honeysuckles, Lonicera fulgens, have been mined by a small lepidopterous larva, which in 1901 we reared to the perfect state, and which has been identified by Mr. August Busck of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, as Lithocolletes fraqileUa, F. & B. The larva makes a con
