The moth, Cydia {Laspeyresia) molesta, has been recorded in the 

 Eastern United States [see this Review, Ser. A, v, pp. 75, 130], and is 

 believed to have been imported from Japan. A short description of 

 the damage done by this insect is given. While principally an enemy 

 of peaches, it may attack plum, cherry or almond trees. The second 

 pest recorded is a fungus disease of poplars and cottonwoods.
