and reported by one person as very numerous in all parts of the 

 county. 



Dutchess county. The insects were very numerous at Red Hook 

 though they did not appear to be generally distributed and serious 

 in the county. 



Fulton county. June beetles were present in about the usual 

 numbers. 



Genesee county. The insects were mostly abundant and probably 

 more numerous than during the preceding two seasons. 



Greene county. June beetles were very plentiful near Athens, 

 though reports would indicate no unusual numbers. 



Lewis county. The pests were about as numerous as three years 

 ago over nearh^ the entire county, elms, basswood and birch being 

 badly injured, maple slightly so. 



Livingston county. Slight injury to elms was reported, though 

 there was no marked abundance of the beetles. 



Oneida county. The insects were reported from several localities, 

 though presumably not excessively ntunerous. 



Ontario county. Practically the same conditions appear to have 

 obtained as in Oneida county. 



Orange county. The beetles were reported numerous the middle 

 of June. 



Orleans county. The insects were abundant or common though 

 not excessively so. 



Oswego county. A comparatively slight infestation was reported. 

 Rensselaer county. Partial defoliation of elms, certain oaks and 

 white birch was rather generally evident in southern Rensselaer 

 county, this being especially marked along the Albany Southern 

 and Boston and Albany railroads. The damage was mostly on 

 trees adjacent to grasslands. In some instances oaks, hickories 

 and ash standing in or near grasslands were almost completely 

 stripped. There was less damage along the river and also on the 

 eastern border of the county. 



Rockland county. June beetles were variously reported as few 

 to abundant. 

 Saratoga county. No unusual numbers were observed. 

 Schuyler county. June beetles were fairly abundant though not 

 excessively numerous. 



Seneca county. The pests were reported as extremely abundant 

 over a period of several weeks. 



Steuben county. June beetles were reported abundant, a condition 

 probably true of most of the county.
