RECORDS OF OCCUR- RENCE IN CALIFOR- NIA. Although horse beans were grown in Cali- ornia as early as 1887, the horse-bean weevil was not recorded as ac- tually established in the United States until September 18, 1909. On that date Mr. I. J. Condit, then collaborator of the Bureau of Ento- mology, collected live specimens at San Luis Obispo, on growing horse beans (2, 3). Inquiry by the writer among buyers and growlers indi- cates that the weevil was established in California many years before 1909. Mr. P. G. Hammer, San Francisco, writes as follows, "We are quite positive of the date, for in our dealing with this variety of beans the first indication of weevil infestation appeared possibly not later.
