Ephestia ktihniella, Zell. This destructive species, which had made its way into Europe, no one knows whence, ten years before, appeared here in 1887, and the first place in which it was found was a flour mill at Stony Stratford; here it was discovered by the late Mr. Wm. Thomas in plenty, the larva; feeding upon ' rice-cones ' and flour. In a very few years it had become most abundant in London, and now there seems hardly to be a flour store or mill in the kingdom from which it is entirely absent. It maintains itself by spinning together and feeding upon the flour which has settled in dust upon beams, joists, window ledges and corners. It has made itself equally objectionable in the United States of America where it is called the Mediterranean flour moth as well as on the continent of Europe generally
