Fig. 8.—Map showing distribution of tlie Hessian fly in America (altered from Osborn). new series, of this Bureau (issued in 1899). The heavy l»roken line indicates the present western and southern limits of Hessian fly dis- tribution based on our latest o))servations and data furnished l)v Pro- fessor Bruner, of Nebraska, and Mr. R. I. Smith, entomologist of the (leorgia State crop pest conuuission. This is believed to be ap})roxi- mately correct. It also seems to show that the insect nuist have been flrst introduced into the Pacific coast region in or with articles of inland commerce, and (unless it be found to infest native grasses) that it did not reach there l>y natural difl'usion, a point that has not before been deflnitely stated so as to be clearly understood. Experimental sowings of wheat near Sault Ste. Marie. Mich., dur- ing the last two vears do not reveal its presence there, and no attempt.
