MEMORANDUM from the AGENT-GENERAL to the Hon. the COLONIAL SECRETARY.

Flour-moth.
Westminster Chambers, 13, Victoria Street,
London, S.W., 28th November, 1890.

I BEG to enclose copy of a letter from Miss Ormerod with respect to a threatened invasion of the flour-moth, as to which she wishes me to give early warning to farmers in New Zealand.

F. D. BELL.

Torrington House,
St. Albans, 19th November, 1890.

DEAR SIR FRANCIS BELL,—I am in a little difficulty, for on one hand I should not like to raise a causeless alarm, and on the other I should never cease to regret if a bad pest took hold in New Zealand for want of a timely word.

Therefore I venture to mention that yesterday I heard from Dr. Selmar Sehonland (the Curator of the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Cape Colony) that he had been applied to from King Williamstown regarding an attack of moth-caterpillars, seriously injurious in flour-mills. Dr. Sehonland had written for specimens and further information, but meanwhile, from the attack being apparently something new and so seriously destructive, I am afraid that it may turn out to be that of the Ephestia kuhniella, the "flour-moth," which is a perfect scourge where it gains a footing.

This infestation is steadily spreading in the world, and it reached Canada last year. You will see notices of it up to date in my 12th and 13th reports.

I do not like to risk raising a false alarm, but I am sure you will forgive me (even if happily this should turn out the case) drawing your attention to a possible grievous trouble; and, as I have some little connection with South Australian entomology, I have written to Sir Arthur Blyth, and also written out to Mr. Frazer Crawford as the official South Australian Entomologist. If it is this attack, and we could be beforehand and ready to receive it, it would be a most happy prevention.

With kind regards, &c.,
ELEANOR A. ORMEROD.

Sir Francis D. Bell, K.C.M.G., C.B.,
Agent-General for New Zealand.
