ington, D. C, Georgia, Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, Maryland and 

 Colorado. 



Within the state of New Hampshire letters have been received 

 from widely separated points, indicating a general distribution. 

 The worst infested region seems to commence on the eastern 

 slope of the White Mountains in the town of Bartlett, and ex- 

 tends southward', including Conway, Albany, Tamworth, Sand- 

 wich, the towns bordering Lake Winnlpesaukee to Plymouth, and 

 lying between that lake and Lake Sunapee, extending on south 

 to Sullivan, Keene, Hancock and Peterboro. The three princi- 

 pal centers of infestation seemed to be Tamworth, Sutton, and 

 Hancock or Peterboro. Between these centers the towns were 

 more or less seriously infested, especially in the more ru^ed coun- 

 try, where, in fact, the greatest amount of damage has occurred. 

 In but few instances was the damage very extensive below one 

 thousand feet elevation. It must not be inferred from the above 

 that the larvse are only found in the localities mentioned; they 

 have been found' at Durham, and possibly occur in limited num- 

 bers throughout the entire state. 



Some idea of the distribution and food plants may be had from 

 the following partial list of correspondents:
