Ontario Sessional Papers, 1898-99, . 62 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23). A. 1899. Fig. 45. towards the tips of the wings, silvery gray beneath. The only markings are along thefront costa and at the apex of the fore-wings. The costal marks consist of 10 or 12short, black streaks separated by similar clear white dashes ; near the apex is a flask-shaped mark which bears 4 or 5 short, longitudinal, black dashes. Last year the attacksof the Pea Moth upon pease in Ontario were considerable, Mr. John McMillan, Huron, even putting the loss at one-third of the crop in his district.

Remedy —As a remedy, deep ploughing has been recommended. It has also beenfound that early sowing and the cultivation of early varieties enable the pease to maturebefore the moths are on the wing. The perfect insects have been reared both in 1897and last season. In the former year all the specimens emerged between July 12 and 15,and in 1898 between July 13 and 15. These specimens were kept under natural condi-tions, and these dates probably agree with the time the moths appear naturally
