infested on the north side. On Mountain Avenue larvte were 

 found on nearly every tree. 



WincJiester, Arlington and North Lexington. 

 No bad places have been found. The colony at North 

 Lexington was exterminated several years ago, and nothing 

 was found there this year. 



Belmont. 

 There are several infested places in Belmont. A good 

 many larva3 were found at the head of Prospect Street. A 

 row of quince bushes oft' Alexander Street contained about 

 one hundred nests. Four willow stumps on Spring Street 

 have probably one thousand nests on and around them. 



Burlington. 

 The Young colony oft" Spring Street is a very bad place. 

 The bank wall, rul)ljish and empty cans there are full of 

 nests, probably thousands. This colony is in the yard of a 

 market gardener, and the caterpillars are likely to be distrib- 

 uted over his route. The Cummings colony was well cleaned 

 out, and there are but few nests at present. There are fifty- 

 one trees here that are dead as a result of two years' strip- 

 ping. 



JSTeuiton. 



The efiicient street commissioner, Mr. Ross, did good 

 work in destroying the larva? last spring, so ftir as he was able 

 with the resources at his command; nevertheless, Newton 

 Highlands is quite generally infested. 



Saugus. 

 No bad places have been found, Ijut the nests are widely 

 distributed. 



Lynn. 



No l)adly infested places were found. A hasty inspection 

 of the residential portion of the city revealed no nests. 



Georgetown. 

 A hasty inspection revealed only one nest, found near the 

 centre of the area burned over.
