inspection of the residential section of the town is now com- 

 pleted, and no additional infestations have been discovered. 

 The local superintendent has cleared the street trees of both 

 species of moths, and has also performed the work necessary 

 on private estates. The infested sections will require bur- 

 lapping and careful attention next year. 



The brown-tail nioth is more or less distributed over the 

 residential portion of the town, but so far as known it has 

 not yet invaded the woodlands.

Four gypsy moth colonies have been found in Norwood. 

 None of them are of large size, but in one case the infesta-

 limited amount of work has been done against the moths by 

 the local superintendent. The entire town should have a 

 thorough inspection afthe earliest possible date.

In the latter part of August the gypsy moth was found in 

 this town by the State inspector, and since that time 12 addi- 

 tional infestations have been located. As in the case of 

 other towns in this vicinity, the moth was found widely 

 scattered, as no more than a single nest as a rule was found
