abundant and grasshoppers are numerous though they have not 
caused much injury.— dug. 28 
Suffolk county [F. E. Lutz, Cold Spring Harbor] — Cabbage 
butterflies (Pontia rapae Linn.) were first observed April 14. 
The brown and black woolly bear (Isia isabella Abb. & Sm.) 
has been observed crawling every month during the winter— 
Apr. 19. Adults of the green striped grasshopper (Chorto- 
phaga viridifasciata DeG.) were observed May 2. The 
form infuscata appears to be relatively more abundant than 
usual. This is more southern than the green variety. Possibly the 
warm weather had something to do with this though it is doubtful. 
— May 9. The dark-sided cut worm (Paragrotis messoria 
Harr.) has been quite abundant and destructive, in particular to 
evening primroses. The periodical cicada (Tibicen septen- 
decim Linn.) has appeared in this section— May 30 
Warren county [C. L. Williams, Glens Falls] —Cutworms 
have been very abundant and tent caterpillars (Malacosoma 
americana Fabr.) more numerous than for several years past. 
The larder beetle (Dermestes lardarius Linn:)) has*been 
somewhat plentiful about houses.— June 3 
Westchester county [Frank R. Calkins, Ossining] — The elm 
leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola Mull.) has been more de- 
structive than in any previous year, owing to the utter lack of 
repressive measures. “ Nearly every tree in town has been com- 
pletely defoliated and now the second crop of leaves has been 
attacked and is nearly eaten by the young larvae.”— July 30 
Wyoming county [\W. H. Roeper, Wyoming] — The first tent 
caterpillars (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) were ob- 
served May 12, though not in large numbers. The wheat sawfly 
(Cephus occidentalis Riley & Marl.) has been inflicting 
considerable injury. The codling moth (Carpocapsa pomo- 
nella Linn.) has been rather abundant on apples, and canker 
worms are causing a great deal of injury.— June IT
