Ohio. H. Oshorn (Octohor 9): Ohsorved on the University campus at Colunhus on 
October 7, This is my first record for Ohio and, so far as I am a-'.vare, no 
records for the spedies have been made north of Tennessee for the Mississippi 
Valley. Sj^ecimens r^ere taloen in numbers and apparently the species is mell 
established for the s'vason, but ^'hether-it T7ill survive at this latitude is 
, a question. It’ is a common southern species and is reported as far north 
as Washington along the Atlantic seaboard,

Guam, R, G, Oa-kley (Auegust J>0)l Grub-population counts were made in hne field to 
determine the average number of grubs present per square foot. The field 
chosen for the purpose, typical of the grub- infested district at Dededo, was 
adjacent to forest growth on one Siide, to coconut plantings on the opposite 
side and ends, -.and had a few coconut palms interplanted in the field. In 
sites examined the populotions were fo'ond to range from less, than one to five 
grubs per square foot, averaging 2.53 grubs of mature size per square foot* 
Grubs wore reduced by 6l percent in a 19-day period by cultivation, hand- 
picking, and ranging of chieloens. Light trap resiilts: The 'two light traps 
located at Piti and Asan were operated continuously at night during Au^mist,
