stroyed by the common stink or squash bug [A n a s a tris- 

 tis]. The apples are much infested with codling moth larvae 

 [Carpocapsa pomonella]. Potato beetles are very 

 abundant. Aug. 20. 



Ulster county (George S. Clark, Milton) — Currant worms 

 [Pteronus ribesii] were first observed May 7, and only 

 a few are to be found at the present date. Appletree tent-cater- 

 pillars [C 1 i s i o c a m p a ameri'cana] were first seen 

 about May 1, and in sections where they were kept under con- 

 trol last year, there are only a few, but in other places they are 

 doing considerable damage. May 16. Cherry aphis [M y z u s 

 c e r a s i] is rather abundant on cherrytrees. May beetles are 

 present in some numbers and are cutting the leaves of trees 

 badly. May 31. Plant lice appear to be increasing slowly. 

 Appletree tent-caterpillars are now wandering considerably. 

 June 7. Cucumber flea beetles [Epitrix cucumeris] 

 are at work on tomato and potato vines, injuring them consider- 

 ably. Some trees in this section have been entirely defoliated 

 by tent-caterpillars, but this is exceptional. June 14. Cherry 

 plant lice are quite injurious to young trees. June 21. There 

 are very few currant worms in the second brood. The potato 

 beetles [Doryphora 10- line at a] are easily controlled. 

 June 28. The lightning leaf-hopper [Ormenis pruinosa] 

 is quite abundant in a pear and currant plantation, being so 

 numerous as to partly cover many of the twigs with their cot- 

 tony secretion. It is not an injurious species as a rule. July 11. 



Warren county (C. L. Williams, Glens Falls) — Forest tent- 

 caterpillars [Clisiocampa disstria] are generally dis- 

 tributed in this section, but they have not been numerous enough 

 to cause much of any damage. The caterpillars of the white 

 marked tussock moth [Notolophus leucostigma] are 

 present in small numbers. July 5. 



Wayne county (C. H. Stuart, Newark) — I am sending you a 

 worm found in quince seedlings which proved to be the larva 

 of the leopard moth [Z e u z e r a pyrin a]. June 30. The 

 Hessian fly [C e c i d o m y i a destructor] is even worse
