abundant and grasshoppers are numerous though they have not 

 caused much injury. — Aii^::;. ^^ 



Suffolk county [F. E. Lutz, Cold Spring Harbor] —Cabbage 

 butterflies (Pontia rapae Linn.) were first observed April 14. 

 The brown and black woolly bear (Isia Isabella Abb. & Sm.) 

 has been observed crawling every month during the winter. — 

 Apr. 19. Adults of the green striped grasshopper (Chorto- 

 phaga viridifasciata DeG.) were observed May 2. The 

 form infuscata appears to be relatively more abundant than 

 usual. This is more southern than the green variety. Possibly the 

 warm weather had something to do with this though it is doubtful. 

 — May p. The dark-sided cut worm ( P a r a g r o t i s m e s s o r i a 

 Harr.) has been quite abundant and destructive, in particular to 

 evening primroses. The periodical cicada (Tibicen septen- 

 decim Linn.) has appeared in this section. — May 30 



Warren county [C. L. Williams, Glens Falls] — Cutworms 

 have been very abundant and tent caterpillars (Malacosoma 

 americana Fabr.) more numerous than for several years past. 

 The larder beetle (Dermestes lardarius Linn.) has been 

 somewhat plentiful about houses. — June 3 



Westchester county [Frank R. Calkins, Ossining] —The elm 

 leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola Miill.) has been more de- 

 structive than in any previous year, owing to the utter lack of 

 repressive measures. " Nearly every tree in town has been com- 

 pletely defoliated and now the second crop of leaves has been 

 attacked and is nearly eaten by the young larvae." — July 30 



Wyoming county [W. H. Roeper, Wyoming] — The first tent 

 caterpillars (Malacosoma americana Fabr.) were ob- 

 served May 12, though not in large numbers. The wheat sawfly 

 (Cephus occidental is Riley & Marl.) has been inflicting 

 considerable injury. The codling moth (Carpocapsa porno-, 

 nella Linn.) has been rather abundant on apples, and canker 

 worms are causing a great deal of injury. — June 11
