Koas.as, J, R, Horton (Octohor 26): Abundant on ornamental ivy during August and 
September at 7 /ichita,, causing much discoloration of the leaves and some de-, 
foliation by killing the leaves. Late in Octoher adiilts have been extremely 
numerous about houses having such vines, and have caused annoyance by hover- 
ing about the dao^s ,and flying into the houses,

last year in Kern County.

Ohio, T. H, Parks (Octob :r 24 ): Widespread and serious damage done to the 
commercial grape crop over most of northern Ohio. Losses in Ashtabula and 
Lake Counties, northeastern Ohio, rere revealed to be serious in vineyards 
on clv'iy land and located in communities that had never before experienced 
losses from this insect. In some vineyards mhere the crop was light the 
grapes wore scarcely worth picking,

to the late brood, was serious in some vineyards, especially those bearing 
only a partial crop of fruit. An unusual feature of the seasonal develop- 
ment of the berry raoth in this locality was the emergence early in September 
of moths from cocoons of the second brood from insectary material,
