Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Intercepted Plant Pests, 1945: List of Pests Recorded During the Period July 1, 1944, to June 30, 1945, Inclusive, as Intercepted In, On, or With Plants and Plant Products Entering United States Territory This report, covering the thirty-second year for. Which interception lists have been issued, summarizes the records of insect pests and plant pathogens found in, on, or with plants and plant products (1) imported, (2) offered for but refused entry, (3) held as ships' stores, etc., and hence not offered for entry through customs, (4) offered for entry for, immediate export or for immediate transporta tion and exportation in bond, and (5) in domestic shipments between Hawaii and Puerto Rico and the mainland. Collections made late in the year are included in the report for the following year, since determinations cannot be obtained immediately for all cf them. Occasionally determinations are delayed for longer periods. The data for this list are obtained from routine reports by personnel of this Bureau, supplemented by information supplied by State and customs officials. The States of California and Florida and the Territory of Hawaii maintain staffs of specialists to make determinations of material collected at their ports. Specialists of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering determine many of the difficult or unusual pathogens collected at all ports. The scientific names are reviewed by appropriate specialists in the Department to see that they conform to the international rules of nomenclature. While every reasonable effort is made to give the correct origin for all collections listed, the alleged origin cannot be verified in some cases, especially under wartime conditions. This necessitates the listing of some collections as of unknown Origin, or omitting them entirely. Aircraft arrivals during the year increased markedly and service mail continued to arrive in large volume. The cooperation of air lines and service personnel in the enforcement of plant quarantine regulations kept the transportation of possibly dangerous plant material down to a relatively low point. The end of hostilities in Europe and the increased magnitude of operations in the Pacific area are believed not to have had any marked effect on the interceptions during the period covered by this report.
