42 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Lake Superior, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massa- 

 chusetts, New Jersey, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Van- 

 couver island, British Columbia, and from Yakima Wash, by Pro- 

 fessor Piper. We have seen specimens from Texas, South Carolina, 

 Illinois, Black hills, and Bismarck N. D. It has been found by us 

 at Fort Lee N. J., in New York city and also Brooklyn and Glendale. 

 Saperda adspersa Lee, a uniformly brown form described from 

 Michigan, is a variety of this species. This variety has also been 

 found at Albany [Joutel] and at Brandt lake in the Adirondacks 

 [J.Doll]. 



Remedies. It is manifestly impossible to attempt to control this 

 insect on other than valuable trees, and in such situations, digging 

 out the borers, with possibly recourse to the use of repellent washes 

 described on page 29, is about all that can be done and in the majority 

 of instances should afford considerable protection.
