fall examination many small colonies were found on private 

 estates. There are no serious infestations here at present, 

 but a great amount of work will be necessary to prevent the 

 increase of the moth. During the late fall the infested road- 

 sides were cut out and put in condition for spraying and 

 burlapping. The nests of the brown-tail moth have been 

 removed from the street trees in a part of the residential 

 section. The infestation by this insect is greatest in the 

 eastern part of the town. 



Lying as Ipswich does in the path of the main line of 

 travel along the North Shore, it is particularly exposed to 

 infestation by the gypsy moth, and should have careful at- 

 tention next season.

The roads throughout the entire town have been inspected, 

 and 29 small and widely scattered colonies of the gypsy moth 

 found. While the moth occurs throughout the residential 

 section, none of the colonies are of notable size, and all should 

 be easily brought under control if the present thorough 

 work can be continued during the coming year.

Brown-tail moths are generally in evidence throughout 

 the town, but a great deal of work against these insects has 

 been done by private citizens. Burlapping will be neces- 

 sary in 1906 in the sections infested with the gypsy moth. 

 The woodlands of the town should be inspected at the earliest 

 possible moment.
