Koedlng, of Fresno, and thus matured Smyrna figs in 1890, and also in 1891. — 6 — Mr. Maslin, who was present, was requested to state his views and observations, which he did as follows : Mr. Maslin: On the 26th of July I went over with Mr. Eisen, at his invitation, to examine the Blastophaga. We met Mr. Shinn's son, who pointed out to us a fig tree which he said was a Capri fig, and one of the importation made by the S.... F, Bulletin Company. The others in the rows belonged to the edible fig. We found in the boughs of that Capri fig tree the box containing the Capri figs imported by Mr. Shinn, with quite a large number of dead Blastophaga. Mr. Eisen cut open the Figs grown and exhibited by Mr. Shinn. (1) The large Smyrna, flesh amber color. (2) The small Smyrna, flesh dark red. dried Capri figs and found them literally black with the insects, which began to move, but very sluggishly. The size of the in- sect is about one line, one-twelfth of an inch.
