EUROPEAN ELM SCALE ( Gossyparia spuria Modeer) 
M. H. Swenk (June 13): The European elm scale was reported 
during the first week in June to be again damaging the elm and 
other trees in parts of the city of I.teCock, Redwillow County. 
H. B. Hungerford (June 18): The European elm scale was 
found on Chinese elm at Wichita. It is thought. that this is a 
new host record for this insect. 
ELM SCURFY SCALE ( Chionaspis americana Johns.) 
J. J. Davis (June 24): The elm scurfy scale was reported 
abundant on young elms at Portland June 23. 
HICKORY 
HICKORY PEYLLOXERA ( Phylloxera caryaecaulis Fitch) 
Connecticut S. P. Felt (May 26): The hickory leaf stem aphid is 
and generally distributed at Stamford and very local, since a badly 
New York infested tree with half to three-fourths of the foliage and wood 
succumbing annually may stand within 40 feet of another hickory, 
apparently the same species, and free from the insect. Observa- 
tions show that the winter eggs are laid in the old galls and in 
bark crevices and that the young Phylloxera enter the buds when 
they are about half developed, starting galls in the leaf stems 
before the bud scales have dropped. P. caryaecaulis is somewhat 
widely distributed in southwestern New York at least. Occasional 
serious infestations occurred at Nassau, Renssalaer County, 
N. YY,. and this by no means represents the limits.

ally becoming serious upon groups of junipers.
