(Frroiii'd ciiiiiiiriiiiia, Zellcr.) A single instance only has been recorded of this Tortrix doing any damage to cultiyaled strawherries. The record is given by Ormerod(l) as folio \ys :—''The follo\ving oliser\'ations refer to the attacks of a small moth caterpillar which some years agn did mncli mischief to strawberry leafage in the neighbourhdod of 1 )ee Hanks, Clrester. The notes were l\indly forwarded to me liy 1 >r. Ellis ijf Liverpool, to wdioni they had been communicated Ijy llr. Lichard A. Wrench of l)ee Lanks. They are as follows:—"1 enclose specimens of a grub which infests the strawberries about liere and does a great deal of harm ; the Ijulk the strawjjerries for Liverpool market are from here. I may say it usually maizes its apjpearance about the beginning of May and lasts until about the end of August, when it goes away. " Young plants of twehx' montlis old are never allected, twci year old plants are affected rather badly, but three year are invarialjly ruined. I have two fields ailjoiidng one another, tlie old field utterly.
