REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1902 151 
[Doryphora 10-lineata Say] have not been so abundant 
as in former years, which is probably due to the cooler season. 
Plum curculios [Conotrachelus nenuphar Herbst.] are 
plenty, but not so prevalent as during some seasons. July 12. 
Schoharie county (John F. Johnson, Breakabeen)— Currant 
worms [Pteronus ribesii Scop.] appeared May 20 and are 
quite abundant and destructive. The grubs of the May or June 
beetle are also numerous and somewhat injurious. No forest 
tent caterpillars [Clisiocampa disstria Hiibn.] have 
been observed this season, and those belonging to the appletree 
species [Clisiocampa americana Fabr.] are spinning 
their cocoons. May. 80. Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 
10-lineata Say] appeared about June 1 and are quite abun- 
dant. A very few forest tent caterpillars were observed and 
they are now spinning their cocoons. June 15. 
Suffolk county (Alexander Mair, Oakdale)— There are very 
few Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 10-lineata Say] 
in Suffolk county this year. Locusts [? Cicada septen- 
decim Linn.] are abundant, but appear to be doing no special 
injury. The San José scale [Aspidiotus perniciosus 
Comst.] is very bad in this section, and comparatively little is 
being done toward its control. There are too many remedies and 
faith in none. June 23. 
Tompkins county (C. E. Chapman, Peruville)— Forest tent 
eaterpilars[Clisiocampa disstria Hiibn.] have damaged 
a few maple and apple trees. The striped cucumber beetle 
[Diabrotica vittata Fabr.] is present in marked numbers, 
and the Colorado potato beetles [Doryphora 10-lineata 
Say] are scarce for this time of year. Flea beetles [? Epitrix 
cucumeris Harris] are very abundant, completely riddling 
potatoes, red raspberries and other foliage. June 30. Cabbage 
worms [Pieris rapae Linn.] are abundant and easily killed 
with paris green and water. Potato beetles are not numerous, 
though white grubs are plenty in potato fields and newly set 
strawberry beds. There is an abundance of young grasshoppers. 
July 30. 
Ulster county (George S. Clark, Milton)—-Some plant lice 
[? Myzus cerasi Fabr.] have appeared on cherrytrees and the 
appletree tent caterpillar [Clisiocampa americana Fabr.]
