  The 
  green 
  pea 
  louse 
  [PNectarophora 
  pisi 
  Kalt.] 
  

   has 
  nearly 
  destroyed 
  some 
  pieces. 
  July

  The 
  pigeon 
  Tremex, 
  

   Treraex 
  columba, 
  has 
  been 
  quite 
  plentiful 
  the 
  past 
  two 
  weeks. 
  

   Many 
  were 
  found 
  dead 
  on 
  the 
  trunks 
  of 
  trees 
  where 
  they 
  went 
  to 
  lay 
  

   their 
  eggs. 
  [The 
  presence 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  in 
  numbers 
  is 
  good 
  evidence 
  that 
  

   the 
  trees 
  of 
  Binghamton 
  are 
  in 
  bad 
  condition, 
  most 
  likely 
  from 
  the 
  work 
  

   of 
  the 
  maple-borer, 
  Plagionotus 
  speciosus]

  We 
  can 
  not 
  see 
  

   that 
  the 
  recent 
  cold 
  weather 
  has 
  had 
  any 
  effect 
  on 
  the 
  tent-caterpillars 
  

   [Clisiocampa 
  americana], 
  they 
  appear 
  as 
  healthy 
  as 
  before 
  the 
  

   freeze.

  Chemung 
  county

  — 
  I 
  have 
  just 
  examined 
  

   several 
  nests 
  of 
  tent-caterpillars 
  [Clisiocampa 
  americana], 
  and 
  

   find 
  them 
  alive 
  and 
  active 
  where 
  the 
  sun 
  is 
  shining 
  on 
  the 
  nest. 
  A 
  few 
  

   cabbage

  Tent-caterpillars

  Cut 
  worms 
  have 
  been 
  very 
  numerous 
  and 
  have 
  destroyed 
  many 
  

   plants 
  in 
  tobacco 
  fields. 
  Potato 
  beetles 
  are 
  few 
  in

  has 
  been 
  in 
  this 
  locality 
  for 
  several 
  years, 
  working 
  mostly 
  o.n 
  

   the 
  elms 
  near 
  the 
  Chemung 
  river. 
  Its 
  depredations 
  do 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  

   as 
  great 
  this 
  season 
  as 
  in 
  former 
  years, 
  when 
  at 
  times 
  it 
  was 
  so 
  abundant 
  

   that 
  the 
  sidewalks 
  and 
  fences 
  along 
  the 
  streets 
  were 
  literally 
  covered 
  with 
  

   the 
  larvae.

  and 
  there 
  from 
  Whitehall

   A 
  few 
  cold

  to 
  disappear.
