THE CALOSOMA BEETLE IN NEW ENGLAND. 25 



Halifax. — Although no colonies were released in this town, beetles were found 

 in nearly every locality examined in 1914. 



Hamilton. — During 1909, 104 beetles and 100 beetle larvae were colonized in 

 this town. In 1912 they were found in several localities visited. Reports in 

 1913 and 1914 proved that this species was well distributed and quite abundant 

 in some districts. 



Hanover. — No beetles were liberated here, but a careful survey of the wood- 

 lands made in 1913 resulted in finding them in no less than nine well-distributed 

 localities. Later reports indicate their increase and further spread. 



Hanson. — While no colonies were liberated here, examinations in 1913 and 

 reports made in 1914 showed them to be common in a number of localities 

 where gipsy moths were in sufficient numbers. 



Harvard. — No beetles were liberated in this town, but examinations made in 

 woodlands infested by gipsy moths in 1913 gave proof that this species was 

 present in nearly all localities. In 1914 they were reported quite common 

 throughout. 



Haverhill. — In 1910, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in the southeastern 

 part of the city. During 1912 they were recovered in several localities in the 

 wooded sections. Later reports prove that this species is quite common in the 

 areas infested by gipsy moths. 



Hingham. — Eighty-three beetles were liberated here in 1912. Later in the 

 year they were recovered in five different localities. In 1913 and 1914 they had 

 become well established. 



Holoroolc. — No liberations were made in this town, but recoveries have been 

 made in all the surrounding towns near the town line. 



Holden. — In 1913, 190 beetle larvae were liberated, and in 1914, 90 beetles 

 were colonized off Princeton Road. 



Holliston. — During 1913, 100 beetles were liberated in the central part of the 

 town. They were recovered in one locality outside of the colony later in the 

 year. As a result of examinations in 1914 it was found that this species had 

 little chance of increase, as the gipsy-moth infestations were light. 



Hopkinton. — One hundred beetles were liberated here in 1910. During 1913 

 they were recovered in one locality. No larval molt skins were found in 1914, 

 the gipsy-moth infestation being very light. 



Hudson. — In 1910, 100 beetles were liberated on Priest's Hill. Examinations 

 in 1012 showed them to be present in a number of locations. In 1913 and 1914 

 this species had become quite abundant throughout the town. 



Ipsicich. — During 1909, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in the northern part 

 of the town. Larval molt skins were recovered in large numbers in some 

 localities during 1912. Reports received in 1913 and 1914 show that the 

 species had increased and was well established. 



Kingston. — In 1912, 93 beetles were liberated here. They were recovered in 

 four near-by localities in 1913, and scouting in 1914 showed them to be present 

 in all parts of the town. 



Lalceville. — No colonies were liberated here, but larval molt skins were found 

 in the center of the town in 1914. 



Lancaster. — No liberations were made here, but in 1912 beetles were noticed 

 in a few localities. Reports in 1914 show them to be quite common in a number 

 of sections. 



Lawrence. — Two hundred beetle larvae were liberated in South Lawrence in 

 1910. In 1911 they were not recovered, except in adjoining towns near the 

 city line. During 1913 and 1914 they were reported in large numbers in all the 

 wooded sections.
