The Government of India referred the problem to the Imperial Entomologist and to various other responsible Entomologists in India for their individual opinion whereupon all the Entomologists were on the whole unanimous in their note of warning as to the danger involved in importing foreign insects generally owing to the possibilities of insects imported developing new and injurious characters a [...] On the 15th November 1916 on receipt of orders from the Government I was relieved by the Government Entomologist Coimbatore of my duties as Acting First Assistant and since that date I worked under the immediate control of the Imperial Entomologist till the termination of the deputaticn on the 31st March 1919. [...] At Debra Dun I attended to the xamination of Lantana and with the kind assistance of the Forest Zoologist ind the other officers of the Forest Research Institute obtained information.egarding the distribution of Lantana in India and especially with reference ;o the United Provinces Bombay and the Central Provinces. [...] The sparrow the mynah the parrot the crow and the ring-dove are some of the other birds that are known to feed on the ripe berries. [...] From the size of the droppings and the evident inclusion of insects in the diet of the animal it is very likely that the excreta belonged to an omnivorous mammal possibly the jackal.
