86 CALOSOMA SYCOPHANTA. 



colony, although the gipsy moth infestation was rather light, and an examination of 

 the surrounding territory in August failed to show any indications of the Calosoma 

 beetles or their larvae. 



July 2, 1909, 100 Calosoma larvae were liberated in woodland off Birch Street, West 

 Peabody. Several examinations were made during the summer of 1910, and a few 

 molted skins were found outside of the colony. 



July 3, 1909, 200 Calosoma larvae were liberated off "West Street near the West 

 Peabody station. In the summer of 1910 many larvae and molted skins were found. 



June 23, 1910, 50 male and 50 female Calosoma beetles just received from Europe 

 were liberated in badly infested woodland near the Middleton Paper Mills. 



Quincy. — July 19, 1909, 200 beetle larvae were liberated in a badly infested wooded 

 area off South Street. Several examinations were made during the summer of 1910, 

 and beetles and larvae were found in abundance in and around where the colony was 

 liberated. 



Beading. — No colonies have been liberated in this town. Molted larval skins were 

 found in the summer of 1910 in the southeastern and central parts of the town, having 

 spread from the Saugus plantings. 



Revere. — July 26, 1908, 100 Calosoma larvae were liberated on Oak Island, and on 

 July 27 100 additional larvae were placed in this colony. These were liberated on the 

 east side of the railroad track. On August 3 100 Calosoma larvae were liberated on the 

 extreme west edge of the wooded area. The colony has been visited each year, and 

 beetles and larvae have been found in moderate numbers. 



Rowley. — On July 8, 1910, 200 Calosoma larvae were liberated in infested woodland 

 off the Newburyport Turnpike. 



Roekport. — On July 13, 1910, 200 Calosoma larvae were liberated in woodland in the 

 rear of Manning Park. 



Salem. — No colonies have been liberated in Salem, although a number of larvae 

 was released in Swampscott in 1908, not far from the Salem line. In 1910 an exami- 

 nation showed that the beetles had spread over the southern part of the city, the strip 

 where they were found being about one-half mile in width. 



Salisbury. — On July 11, 1910, 200 Calosoma larvae were liberated in infested woodland 

 in this town. 



Saugus. — On May 6, 1906, Mr. Titus liberated 24 Calosoma beetles in woodland in 

 North Saugus, and on June 26, 25 more were liberated in the same region. July, 

 1907, several larvae were found in this colony, and in 1908 a few beetles were found. 



July 3, 1907, Mr. Mosher liberated 228 Calosoma beetles in badly infested woodland 

 directly north of the old gipsy moth laboratory at North Saugus, and on July 7, 103 

 more beetles were placed in this colony. Calosoma larvae were found late in July, 

 and in the summer of 1908 both beetles and larvae were common in the center of the 

 colony. This liberation was made about a mile from the one put out by Mr. Titus. 

 In the summer of 1909 a careful inspection of territory showed that beetles were 

 present in the area between the two colonies, and molted skins were found for a con- 

 siderable distance surrounding each. The colony planted by Mr. Mosher had spread 

 east and northward and fused with the Lynnfield colonies. It also had spread west- 

 ward, as molted skins were found in woodland in the eastern part of the town of 

 Wakefield. In 1910 the beetles were found in practically all parts of the town of 

 Saugus. 



Sherborn. — On July 2, 1910, 200 Calosoma larvae were liberated in infested wood- 

 land off Main Street, Sherborn. 



Stoneham. — On June 22, 1908, 75 Calosoma larvae were liberated in woodland off 

 Franklin Street, Stoneham. Examinations were made in this colony in 1909 and 

 a few beetles were found. Several were also found in 1910. Later in the season a 

 general inspection was made of the territory in Stoneham where gipsy moth cater- 

 pillars had been very abundant. Molted skins were found in the eastern and southern 

 parts of the town.
