Remedial measures. This species is evidently local in habit 

 and there appears to be no reason why many of the hibernating 

 insects could not be destroyed by burning- over the ground in 

 early fall, provided conditions admit of such treatment. It 

 is very probable that thorough spraying, especially on the upper 

 surface of the leaf, with arsenate of lead about the middle of 

 June, would check this pest in a very satisfactory manner.

LOCUST LEAF MINER 



Chalepus dorsalis Thunb. 



The locust leaf miner, a rather common insect on Long Island, 

 was responsible, in large measure, for somewhat serious injury 

 to the foliage of black locust trees at Syosset and Jericho, L. I. 

 Mr Walter S. Funnell, editor of the Long Island department of 

 the Brooklyn Daily Times, stated under date of August loth 

 that the leaves of locust trees at Syosset and Jericho were grow- 

 ing brown day by day, the leaves being apparently reduced to 

 mere skeletons. Mr F. A. Bartlett of the Frost & Bartlett
