stand. The inspections were made throughout most of the states. 

 There were a few that we were not able to touch. In the eastern states 

 the pest was found in the vicinity of Washington, both in Maryland 

 and Virginia, and in the vicinity of Baltimore. It was found in south- 

 ern Pennsylvania, east of the middle of the state ; it was found in New 

 Jersey, in the southern end of New York state; it was found on Long 

 Island, and at one point in Connecticut. Outside of these localities 

 the insect was not found. It was not found in northern or western 

 New York, although we found there what we term "typical injury." 

 This same type of injurj- was found in a great many other places that 

 were inspected, but I believe that the injury is caused by Anarsia 

 Uneatella in these cases. 



This insect injures the trees in exactly the same manner, and we feel 

 that we are unable to tell from the injury which insect causes the 

 trouble. The results of the inspection that we have made were based 

 altogether on the insects that were collected. In no place did we report 

 the insect as being found where it was not collected but where typical 

 injury was present. It may be established in other localities that were 

 missed, but as far as we know, this was the general result — the insect 

 being present only in a few of the states along the eastern seaboard, 

 from Connecticut south to Virginia, a short way south of Washington. 



Vice-President E. C. Cotton: The fact that the insect was not 

 found, of course, was no proof that it does not occur there, because as I 

 understand it, the surveys were made in a general manner rather than 

 in a thorough manner. 



Mr. W. B. Wood : The surveys were made in most cases very gener- 

 ally, and the insect could very well be missed. 



Mr. S. M. Frost : I would like to ask if the injury might not be due 

 to the tarnished plant bug on peach, or could it not be attributed to 

 a Lepidopterous insect? 



Mr. W. B. Wood: In the case of the boring of the Lepidopterous 

 insect, Laspeyresia niolesta, the twigs are, I think, always hollowed out 

 on the inside; with the injury from the plant bug I don't believe this 

 would be the case. I have often noticed injury that was attributed to 

 the plant bug, and it was quite different from that caused by molesta, 

 the twigs always being hollowed out by the latter insect.
