28 BULLETIN 251, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Millis. — In 1913, 100 beetles were liberated in the northern part of the town, 

 and in 1914, 95 adults were liberated in the eastern part. As a result of exami- 

 nations in 1914, it was found that this species had spread rapidly and could 

 be found in all sections of the town. 



Milton-Quincy. — During 1909, 200 beetle larvae were liberated near Shawmut 

 Spring, in Cunningham Park. In 1912 beetles were recovered in 14 different 

 localities of the former town. This species became very abundant in 1913 and 

 1914 in badly infested sections. 



Natick-Weston. — Two hundred larvae were liberated near the Natick-Weston 

 line in 1910. Larval molt skins were found in a few localities in Natick in 1911. 

 Evidences of the beetles were noticed in 1912 and in 1913, and by 1914 this 

 species had become very abundant in some localities. 



Needham. — In 1911, 100 beetles were liberated in woodland off Central Avenue. 

 During 1912 examinations showed them to be present in five or more localities. 

 Data secured in 1913 and 1914 indicated that the species was spreading and in- 

 creasing rapidly. 



Newbury. — During 1910, 88 beetles were liberated in badly infested woodland 

 near Byfield Station. In 1912 they were recovered in several sections through- 

 out the town. Later reports show them to be quite common in areas infested 

 by gipsy moths. 



Newburyport. — During 1910, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in woodland near 

 West Newbury line. Larval molt skins were found in several locations in 1912. 

 In 1913 and 1914 the beetles were very abundant in all the woodland areas. 



Newton. — In 1908, 100 beetle larvae were liberated, and in 1909 400 more were 

 colonized in two other localities. During 1910 they were recovered in and 

 around the colonies. As a result of examinations in 1911 they were found in 

 most of the wooded sections of the city, and later reports indicate that they 

 are quite common in all the districts infested by gipsy moths. 



Norfolk. — Ninety beetles were liberated in the western part of this town near 

 Populatic Pond in 1914. Later they were recovered in localities around the 

 colony. 



North Andover. — In 1910, 100 beetles were liberated in badly infested. wood- 

 land off Osgood Street. Scouting in 1912 showed them to be present in a num- 

 ber of localities. In 1913 and 1914 they were reported numerous, and in some 

 cases the larvae had consumed nearly all the gipsy-moth pupae on the trees 8 

 feet from the ground. 



Northboro. — During 1913, 190 beetle larvae were liberated near the Metropoli- 

 tan Aqueduct. As a result of examinations in 1914 they were found to be pres- 

 ent in a number of localities. 



North Reading. — In 1910, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in woodland one- 

 half mile from the State road. They were recovered in a few separated 

 woodlands in 1911. During 1912 this species was quite common in a number of 

 localities, and later reports indicate that they are abundant in all the wood- 

 land areas. 



Norton. — During 1914, 95 beetles were liberated in the eastern part, and 90 

 more in the northern part of the town. 



Norwell. — C. sycophanta beetles were found in the northwestern part of the 

 town in 1912. In 1913, 30S beetle larvae were liberated in woodland off Main 

 Street, in a rather heavy gipsy-moth infestation. Examinations made later in 

 the year showed them to be present in many localities and in 1914 rapidly 

 increasing. 



Norwood. — No beetles were liberated in this town, but they were found in one 

 locality in 1912. Scouting in 1913 showed them to be present in all sections of 

 the town, and in 1914 they were found to be abundant in several wooded areas.
