have attacked only one or two buds before the winter resting period 
intervenes. 
The fact that this species is stationary during the greater part of 
the year and only found within definite parts of certain kinds of 
trees, namely, in the next year's buds of pines, makes effective con- 
trol work much easier than is the case with insect pests which 
are general feeders and which are not confined to definite parts 
of the food plant, as, for example, the gipsy moth or the brown- 
tail moth. "While the European pine-shoot moth is confined to 
nurseries and private parks and has not spread to the native pines, 
it should prove a comparatively easy task to eradicate the species 
absolutely within any limited area. At the present time it would 
even seem possible completely to stamp out this dangerous pest in 
America, and forestall the infestation of our native pine forests, 
provided that the danger of new infestation is removed. But when 
once the species has multiplied sufficiently to become generally dis- 
tributed on the native pines the possibility of eradication will be 
past.
