10 THE ABUTILON MOTH. 



An extremely interesting matter in connection with this injurious 

 occurrence and the application of remedies is that throughout the 

 season of 1913 to October 13 none of the insects made their appear- 

 ance on the Department grounds where the spraying work was done, 

 showing either the absolute thoroughness of the application or, possi- 

 bly, that the insect never returned to this particular locality.
