Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
The paper published Canad. Ent., vol. xi., p. 110-14, was reprinted with some additions as a pamphlet, Cambridge, December, 1879. The recorded experiment on the Potato Bug made by Mr. James H. Burns, proved evidently the poisonous character of the yeast-fungus. The fifty beetles which were sprinkled with it died mostly on the eighth day, and the rest in the four following days.
