Chryptorhvnchus lapathi in Minnesota. — In view of Mr. Kirkland's article 

 in Psyche, Vol. 8, p. 37, June, 1899, in which he describes the finding of this 

 introduced beetle in Balm of Gilead poplar in Massachusetts, it may interest the 

 readers of Psyche to know that we have found it here this last spring, illustrating 

 the steady westward progress of this unwelcome immigrant. Burgess found it in 

 Ohio a few years ago. Cooley of Montana reports seeing one specimen in 1899 in 

 Montana. It was brought here and from here sent away up into the northwestern 

 corner of North Dakota, in a shipment of nursery stock (Carolina Poplars) from 

 New York State. — F. L. Washburji, St. Anthony Park, Minn., Sept. 2g, ig04.
