H. B. Peirson (August 24): The white pir.e weevil has been 
observed in unusually heavy outbreaks throughout the State. 
J, N. Knull (August 8): A recent survey in various sections 
of Pennsylvania shows that the white pine weevil is very scarce 
in localities affected by the 1930 drought. The 1931 weevil is 
far below nomal in these areas. In other sections such as the 
Allogheny Plateau, where the 1930 drought was not so severe, the 
1931 woeviling is normal or slightly above the average. 
A. G. Ruggles and assistants (August): White pi:.o weevils are 
moderately abundant in Itasca Park. There is slight damage on 
white pines.

producing the characteristic pitch exudations.
