(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.
