moth (Hemerocampa leucostigma Abb. & Sm.) and 

 black blister beetles (Epicauta pennsylvanica DeGeer) 

 were observed in large numbers — June ii. This is rather early 

 for the latter to be numerous. Several kinds of plant lice are 

 more plentiful than last year, specially on hard maples. Elm leaf 

 beetles (Galerucella luteola Miill.) are very numerous 

 but their attacks are confined largely to the tops of the trees, 

 many of which have the foliage skeletonized. Tent caterpillars 

 (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) are plentiful, though 

 not so abundant as last season. The onion fly (P h o r b i a 

 c e p a r u m Bouche) is causing considerable injury. — June ij. 

 Cabbage butterflies (Pieris rapae Linn.) appeared in num- 

 bers for the first time June 20, and striped cucumber beetles (D i a - 

 brotica vittata Fabr.) June 25. Elm leaf beetles are 

 increasing in numbers and destructiveness. The common house 

 fly (Musca domestica Linn.) is not very common as yet. 

 The 2 -spotted lady beetle (Adalia bipunctata Linn.) is 

 to be seen in some numbers. — June 27 



Wyoming county (W. H. Roeper, Wyoming) — Tent caterpillars 

 (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) appeared in some num- 

 bers for the first time May 20, they being less numerous than usual. 

 The bud moth (Tmetocera ocellana Schiff .) is at work 

 but not causing a great deal of damage. Cankerworms (Palea- 

 crita vernata Peck) are at work in small numbers on apple- 

 trees. The pear psylla (Psylla pyricola Forst.) has not 

 appeared in destructive numbers as yet. — June ij. There have 

 been very few insects present in sufficient numbers to cause an 

 appreciable amount of damage. — July 27
