The life history of the moth is appended. The fruit fly (Tephritis Tyroni, Frogg.), which was not noticed on the Tweed, was found at WoUongbar hovering round every orange tree that still bore fruit, and all the fruit examined contained their maggots. A large number of larvae collected in the forest and scrub under logs and stones, or cut out of logs, were brought down to Sydney, and are now being kept to work out their life histories. The gfeat number of the larvae of the peach moth (Oonogethes... puncti- feralis, Gn.) were noticed feeding upon the dead flower-buds, and afterwards upon the pith of the dead stalks of the castor-oil plants, while a very similar larvae was found feeding upon the cotton seeds in the ripening bolls. The Castor-oil Tree Moth (Achaea melicerte, Drury), These caterpillars are common upon the foliage of the castor-oil trees, stripping off the foliage, and, when ready to pupate, crawling into the hollows in the dead branches. * This has been bred out in numbers since these notes were written, and proves to be the moth named.
