Abstract
IN connexion with the noxious weed control investigations at Farnham Royal Laboratory on behalf of the New Zealand Government, an experiment has been carried out in order to throw light upon the nature of the factors limiting the distribution of Apion ulicis; for this weevil is not found throughout the areas occupied by its host plant, Ulex europœus. Its abundance on the Moray coast, for example, and its absence from the Aberdeen district suggest the possibility that climatic factors in the north may only be suitable in the warmer districts.
