[Schizura concinna] are present in small numbers and 
confined to two or three orchards. The eggs of the appletree 
tent-caterpillar occur in large numbers, but I fail to find any of 
the forest tent-caterpillar. Aug. 12. A small webworm, 
Cacoecia species, is doing a great deal of damage to maples. 
Aug. 20. ! 
Erie county (M. F. Adams, Buffalo)—Mourning cloak butter- 
flies [Euvanessa antiopa] were flying Ap. 11, and red 
admirals [Vanessa atalanta] were flying the 13th. The 
egg masses of the white marked tussock moth [Notolophus 
leucostigma|] are abundant in many localities, and their 
ravages will probably equal those of 1895. May 10. The young 
grubs of the willow snout beetle [Cryptorhynchus lap- 
athi] were found abundant in Carolina poplars just beneath 
the bark. The mines are irregular, winding and extend upward. 
Goes pulchra is destroying young hickory. May 21. May 19, 
Saperda fayi had pupated. May 20 the males of the Put- 
ham scale [Aspidiotus ancylus] were emerging. The 
euonymus scale [Chionaspis euonymi] is quite injurious 
in this section. May 25. Carpenter worms [Prionoxystus 
robiniae] were found in the larva and pupa stages in the 
ash, and to all appearances those which were to emerge this 
year had already pupated. May 29. June 5 I took adults of 
Podosesia syringae ovipositing in Fraxinus ex- 
celsior and onthe same date adults of Neoclytus ery- 
throcephalus were emerging from a dead tree of the same 
species. The appearances indicate that there will be an unusu- 
ally large number of the locust borers this season. June 7. 
Observation in the near vicinity of Buffalo shows that from 
6% to 8% of the wheat has been destroyed by Hessian fly [Ce ci- 
iomyia destructor]. June It. Graphisurus 
fasciatus, Xyloterus colonus and Typocerus 
zebratus have been emerging from Quercus rubra, 
the first on the 18th and the latter two June 14. Saperda 
fayi also emerged on the latter date from various species of 
Crataegus. The willow snout beetle was ovipositing on cotton
