and on young leaves. Adults were reared. One tree, 4 feet 
in diameter and about 60 feet tall, had most of the upper two- 
thirds of the leaves dry, with some green left only on the 
lower leaves. This was the most severe injury noted, although 
all of the sycamores in the immediate vicinity were affected.
