BUREAU NOTES AND OBSERVA- TIONS BY ASSISTANTS. Strangely enough, one of the earliest reports of this species came from Mr. J. A. Starner, Dayton, Columbia County, Wash. Infested straws containing a few larvae, but mostly pupse, were received September 16, 1882, showing that even at that early date it was sufficiently abundant to attract the attention of farm- ers. Mr. D. W. Coquillett found it at Anaheim and Atwater, Cal., in 1885, while Mr. Albert Koe- bele found it during the same year at Folsom, Cal. It was also sent to the Department by Mr. J. F. Donkin, from Grayson, Cal., during the same year. In 1885 Prof. F. H. Snow reported it as doing serious injury in McPherson, Morris, Osborne, Ottawa, and Saline counties, Kans., and mentioned it as a new pest,6 and in 1891 it was prevalent in central and west- ern In 1886 Mr. Coquillett found it at Los Angeles, Cal. During August, 1890, infested straws from Washington State were received at the Department from Moses Bull, Pullman; J. W. Jessup, Rosalia; G. W.
