THE GYPSY MOTH. 



289 



Furthermore, in 1893, the men, while engaged in inspect- 

 ing the great number of burUipped trees in the worst infested 

 towns, occasionally found and killed large numbers of cater- 

 pillars upon garden plants and shrubbery where they would 

 otherwise have been overlooked. A few caterpillars found 

 under a burlap sometimes furnished a clew which led to the 

 discovery of many more near by. These greatly swelled 

 the sum total of caterpillars destroyed, though they did not 

 add to the number of trees infested. No accurate account 

 of the number of caterpillars or eggs destroyed by spraying 

 or fire could be kept. 



The number of trees, fences and walls infested is in every 

 case larger than the number cleared of eggs. This is ac- 

 counted for by the fact that these objects were reported 

 infested if any form of the moth was found upon them, but 

 were not reported as cleared unless eggs only were found.
