tion, though not so abundant as last year. Currant worms (Pier = 
onus ribesii Scop.) appeared later than usual and in con- 
siderable numbers. Potato beetles are more abundant than for 
several years, possibly due to neglect in poisoning the vines, owing 
to the relative scarcity of the pest during the last two years. The 
work, of the elm ieaf beetle (Galerucella luteola Mull.) 
is apparent though not very marked.— July 3 
Genesee county [J. F. Rose, South Byron]— Asparagus 
Becties CC TIOCeris, aspatagi Linn.) appeared May 15, 
potato beetles (Doryphora decim-lineata Say) the 18th. 
INe-tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) 
have been observed. Aphids are abundant on roses— May 2. 
Cabbage maggots (Phorbia brassicae Bouché) are at 
work as usual; we have found that a couple of moth balls placed 
next to each plant when set, is an excellent protective. Asparagus 
beeties are very abundant and striped cucumber beetles (Diabro- 
tica vittata Fabr.) are numerous— May 17. Asparagus 
beetles are more abundant than usual and a cabbage butterfly 
(Pontia rapae Linn.) was observed May 23.—May 28. Two 
nests of fall webworms (Hyphantria textor Harr.) were 
observed July 9. Potato beetles (Doryphora decim- 
lineata Say) have been rarer than in many years. Only one 
squash bug (A nasa tristis DeG.) has been observed. Cabbage 
worms are present in smaller numbers.— July 17 
Herkimer county [George S. Graves, Newport] — Tent cater- 
Pilliesiiveca tacos Oma americana. Fabr.) were first 
observed May 17 and a few nests were seen the following day.— 
Woayecs. *Cutrant worms. (Pteronus ribesii Scop.) were 
half grown June 3. No potato beetles (Doryphora decim- 
lineata Say) have been observed. Horn flies (Haematobia 
serrata Rob.-Desv.) are quite abundant on cattle— June 5. 
These latter insects are reported by farmers as being generally 
abundant and very annoying to cattle. Cabbage worms (Pontia 
rapae Linn.) were rather numerous in early cabbage— July 31. 
Fall webworms (H yphantria textor Harr.) were observed 
ona plum. The black walnut worm (Datana integerrima 
Gr. & Rob.) has been very destructive to black walnut, defoliating 
many trees. Very few potatoes in gardens next to sod ground have 
been affected by wireworms— Aug. 15. Yellow-necked apple 
worms (Datana ministra Walk.) are full grown and have 
caused considerable injury to the foliage. Horn flies continue
