THE CALOSOMA BEETLE IN NEW ENGLAND. 31 



Southboro. — No colonies were liberated here, but in 1913 beetles were found 

 in one locality in the eastern section. During 1914 they had increased and 

 spread to other localities. 



Sterling. — During 1913, 200 beetle larvse were liberated in woodland near the 

 post office. In 1914 larval molt skins were found in all parts of the town, but 

 in small numbers, showing that the beetles had spread and will in time become 

 abundant. 



Stoneham. — In 1908, 75 beetles were liberated in woodland off Franklin 

 Street. During 1909 a few of these were recovered. Larval molt skins were 

 found in the eastern and southern parts of the town in 1910. In 1911 and 1912 

 this species had increased and spread throughout, being very abundant in some 

 localities. Since that time the beetles have become abundant in all gipsy-moth 

 infested areas. 



Stoughton. — During 1911, 100 beetles were liberated in infested woodland off 

 Turnpike Street. In 1914 larval molt skins were found in one locality. In- 

 festations in most sections of the town were very light, hence the slow increase 

 of beetles. 



Stoiv. — Eighty-six beetles were liberated in this town in 1910. In 1912 larval 

 molt skins were found in 11 or more separated localities. This species had 

 become well established in 1913 and 1914 and could be found very abundant 

 in some sections of the town. 



Sudbury. — In 1910, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in woodland in East Sud- 

 bury. Larval molt skins were recovered in a few localities in 1911, and in 1912 

 had increased and spread to most sections of the town. Reports received in 

 1913 and 1914 show this species to be present in all sections and in some cases 

 very abundant. 



Sivampscott. — During 1908, 175 beetle larvae were liberated in woodland off 

 Danvers Street and 200 larvae were colonized north of the Ocean House. In 



1910 beetles were recovered in and at some distance from the colonies. This 

 species had increased and spread to a number of localities in 1911 and 1912. 

 Later reports indicate a similar increase and spread. 



Taunton.— In 1913, 100 beetles were liberated off Bay Street, and in 1914, 95 

 adults were colonized in woodland in the southeastern part of the city. Recov- 

 eries were made near the colonies in 1914. 



Templeton. — During 1913, 200 beetle larvae were liberated off Petersham Road. 

 Beetles were recovered in and near the colony in 1914. 



Tewksbury. — In 1908, 100 beetle larvae were liberated in woodland infested by 

 gipsy moths. During 1910, 100 beetles were liberated off Shawsheen Avenue 

 and 200 larvae near Prospect Hill. In 1912 larval molt skins were recovered in 

 12 or more widely separated localities. Since that time the beetles have spread 

 and become quite abundant in a number of the infested woodlands. 



Topsfleld. — In 1910, 180 beetle larvae were liberated off High Street. During 



1911 some scouting was done and larval molt skins were found in several wood- 

 lands. During 1912 molt skins were found in eight or more different localities. 

 Further reports in 1913 and 1914 showed that the beetles had increased and 

 become well established throughout. 



Toicnsencl. — No liberations were made in this town, but a few molted skins 

 were found in two well-separated localities in 1913. Reports from here in 1914 

 show that the beetles were very plentiful, and could be found in most, of the 

 infested areas. 



Tyngsboro. — No beetles were liberated here, but in 1912 several woodlands 

 were examined, and larval molt skins found in a number of well-separated 

 localities. Further data secured in 1913 and 1914 indicated that the beetles
