In our country the life-history of the insect and its injury have been referred to by Harris, Fitch, Morris, Walsh, and ourselves, while the agricultural papers contain numerous references to the injury inflicted by the insect. The perfect beetle has often been described in systematic works on Coleoptera. For these reasons we deem it unnecessary to enter here into a detailed description of the beetle and its earlier stages, but content ourselves with pointing out the more obvious characters, alluding to such facts of the life-history as are necessary to a full understanding of the nature of the remedies to be applied for this pest. The eggs are deposited in an upright position upon the under side of the leaves (Fig. 1 a), always in a group, consisting generally of two, rarely three, more or less irregular rows. The individual eggs are close * Note sur la Galdruque de I'orine, Bull, d'liisectologie Agricole, VIII, pp. 113-116. t VerhaudlungeQ , Ges., Wieu, 1856, VI, Sitzb., , 75. t Op. cit., 1858, VIII, , Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the origin
