a&Pj&NESE BEETLE (PoTDillia .iaponica Newm. ) 
New Jersey Monthly News Letter, Bureau of Entomology, No. 108 (April) t C. 
H. Hadley, in charge of the Japanese beetle laboratory of the 
Bureau at Tiverton, writes that recent examinations in the field 
hafce shown no appreciable grub mortality as a result of weather 
conditions auring the winter just past. Occasional spots have 
been found where there has bsen comparatively slight mortality 
during the winter, but the mortality has been so low as to have 
no practical importance. A material increase in density of 
infestation by the beetle throughout the heavily infested area, 
and probably a corresponding increase in density throughout the 
entire infested area, nay therefore be anticipated. for the coming 
season.
