THE CALOSOMA BEETLE IN NEW ENGLAND. 37 



North Hampton. — Beetles were found present here in a few localities in 1912. 

 Data secured since that time show that they have become well established, 

 being abundant in some localities. 



Northwood. — Beetles were found here in a few localities in 1914. 



Nottingham. — Scouting in this town during 1913 showed the beetles to be 

 present in the eastern and central sections, and in 1914 they were well distrib- 

 uted throughout. 



Ossipee. — In 1914, 32 beetle larvae were colonized in woodland near Leightons 

 Corner by Prof W. C. O'Kane. 



Pelham. — Larval molt skins were found in a number of localities in 1912. 

 During 1913 and 1914 they had increased and spread to all sections of the town. 



Pembroke. — During 1913 larval molt skins were found in a few localities in 

 the southern part of the town and in 1914 they were present in most of the 

 infested woodlands. 



Pittsfielcl. — In 1914 larval molt skins were found in the southwestern corner 

 of this town. 



Plaistow. — Examinations made here during 1912 and 1913 showed that the 

 beetles were well established, and in 1914 they were found very abundant in 

 some localities. 



Portsmouth. — Examinations during 1912 showed that the beetles were present 

 in a few localities, and in 1913 and 1914 they were common throughout the 

 woodland areas. 



Raymond. — A careful scout made here in 1913 showed the beetles to be pres- 

 ent in several localities. Since that time they have continued to increase and 

 are doing efficient work in the gipsy-moth infested areas. 



Richmond. — Beetles were found here in small numbers in 1914. 



Rindge.— During 1913, 40 beetles and 102 beetle larvae were liberated in the 

 southern part of the town, and in 1914, 100 beetles were liberated in a woodland 

 1$ miles east of West Rindge station. 



Rochester. — In 1913 larval molt skins were found in the southern part of the 

 town and during 1914 they were recovered in nine well-separated localities. 



Rollingsford. — As a result of examinations in 1914 beetles were found to be 

 common in a number of well-separated woodlands. 



Rye: — No liberations were made here, but larval molt skins were found in 

 moderate numbers during 1912 and 1913. In 1914 they had become well estab- 

 lished throughout. 



Salem. — Beetles were found present in a number of localities in this town 

 during 1912. Since that time they have continued to increase and spread to all 

 the infested areas. 



Saridown. — Larval molt skins were found here in a few localities in 1912. In 

 1913 and 1914 the beetles had dispersed to all the infested areas. 



Sandwich-Tamworth. — In 1909, 100 beetle larvae were liberated near Sand- 

 wich-Tamworth line, in woodland which was being defoliated by Heterocampa 

 guttivitta Walk, and Anisota ruoicunda Fab. Gipsy moths had not been found 

 in this region, but it was desired to see whether the beetles would feed on 

 these species and survive the winter. In 1910 and 1913 scouting was done, 

 but no beetles were recovered. 



Seabrook. — During 1912 examinations were made in several parts of the town 

 and as a result larval molt skins were found in a few localities. Further data 

 secured in 1913 and 1914 showed that the beetles had increased extensively. 



Somersworth. — No liberations were made, but in 1914 larval molt skins were 

 found in a number of well-separated localities.
