Abstract
AMONGST the “Notes” in your last issue, p. 615, is an extract from a Ceylon paper of a report by Dr. Trimen as to an insect “which has caused much alarm by its depredations on cacao and cinchona plantations,” and that Dr. Trimen thinks “the only serious damage to cacao comes from the Helopeltis antonii, which appears to be a recent importation to Ceylon, although well known in Java.”
