Dro-wn-Tail MotH 



P. J. Shaw, Truro, N.S. 



In company with three others, I returned 

 recently from Digby Co., where we had been 

 looking over the district infested with the 

 brown-tail moth. In three days we succeeded 

 in finding only three or four nests. While the 

 whole of the infested area was not gone over, 

 and while our search necessarily was incom- 

 plete on account of the snow, yet the result is 

 very encouraging. It indicates a considerable 

 reduction in the numbers of this serious pest. 



If the campaign against this insect is carried 

 on as successfully as it has been since the time 

 of its discovery in the province last spring, 

 there is a fair prospect of holding the insect in 

 check, if not of exterminating it completely.
