Scientific Note 



The Cotton Moth in Connecticut. — I have read with interest the notes in Science 

 October 13, page 488, by Prof. H. T. Fernald, and in Entomological News for Novem- 

 ber, page 415, by Dr. Henry Skinner, regarding the occurrence in large numbers of 

 the Cotton Moth, Alahama (Aletia) argillacea Hubn., in the Northern States the 

 latter part of September. In New Haven, Conn., the conditions were much the 

 same as Doctor Skinner described them in Philadelphia. Hundreds of the moths were 

 resting on the walls of the railroad station, and other buildings, especially near the 

 water front, were literally covered. On September 25 I counted thirty of these moths 

 inside a closed trolley car on Whitney Avenue on the way to my office. For several 

 days afterward I noticed them scattered thi'oughout the city, but growing fewer. 

 One newspaper came out with an article stating that the Brown-tail Moth had reached 

 the city in great numbers and threatened to do much damage. During a residence 

 of seventeen years in New Haven I have never before observed or collected this 

 insect, though our collection contains specimens taken in Waterbury by Mr. H. S. 

 WooUey. Such a swarm is certainly unusual.
