False Alarms. 



Numerous complaints have been received from many towns and 

 cities, both in Massachusetts and adjacent States, to the effect that the 

 gypsy moth has appeared within their borders in abundance. In many 

 cases needless alarm has been created by the publication in the daily 

 press of statements Avhich have been afterwards disproved. We have at 

 times had good reason to believe that the gypsy moth had been found 

 in some cases, but in no case has it yet been found outside the district 

 known to be infested in 1891. 



Following is a list of places from which reports have come, or which 

 have been visited in following clues. No evidence of the presence of 

 the gypsy moth has been found in any of these places : —
