infestation and soon after specimens of D. julionalis began to 

 appear and are still emerging at this date, January 19, 1910. A 

 number of Ichneumon flies were also bred from this cage. 



Prof. Smith spoke of the "wood leopard moth" around Har- 

 vard University and said it seems as though there is nothing 

 done to stop the ravages of this insect in that locality. (Life 

 of larva is about two years.) He said the English sparrow is

 a great many were found on running sap of an oak tree on top 

 of the Blue Mountains near Harrisburg, August 8. 1009. He
