Mamestra subjuncta ( Rob.), is illustrated in Figure 16, as one of the most injurious of the species to cabbage. Turnips.— A favorite method of attack upon the turnip is to eat into and around the neck of the plant, until it is detached, or to eat off separate leaves and drag them into the hole beside the plant* to feed upon during the daytime. The turnip crop in England is more liable to cut-worm attack than is the crop in our country, the principal depredators being Agrotis exclamationis Linn., Agrotis segetitm Ochs., Mamestra brassicce Linn., and Triphcena pronubd (Linn.)..
