Extract

In the potato storage cellar of the Fredericton laboratory, aphids were collected on March 1, 1954, from chrysanthemum cuttings that had been placed in the cellar during the autumn of 1953. The aphids were so numerous that they were causing severe injury to the plants. The writer identified the specimens as of Myzus ascalonicus Doncaster. This identification was verified by Mr. J. P. Doncaster, British Museum of Natural History.
