Sanders (G. E.). The Brown Tail Moth in Nova Scotia. — Proc. Entom. 

 Soc. Nova Scotia, Truro, no. 1, 3rd August 1915, pp. 47-53. 

 [Received 28th June 1916.] 



A large amount of data has been collected in this paper on the brown- 

 tail moth [Euproctis chrysorrhoea] in Nova Scotia [see this Review, 

 Ser. A, iv, p. 119]. By spraying and by collecting the nests it is hoped 

 to keep the pest down until the introduction of parasites is sufficiently 

 advanced to hold it in check without the winter collection of the nests.
