MAPLE NEPTJCULA (Nej ticula sericor;eza Zell.) 
3. P. Pelt (June 2C) : Recent investigations show the 
Norway leaf stalk borer to be generally distribute; in south- 
western Connecticut, southeastern New York and presumably 
northern New Jersey, at lerst in areas where the Norway maple 
has been established for a number of years. The larvae occur 
very generally in the fallen keys, over 90 per cent frequently 
being infested. The keys show a characteristic dark area along 
the suture or unicn between the two seeds. The leaf stalk 
boring habit appears to be limited -°lmost entirely to trees not 
in' fruit and consequently is exceptional rather than normal. 
The insect is vary probably well established in areas '-'here the 
Norway maple occurs. 
A BAGP*0HH ( Solanobia —I she 11- Clem.) 
3. P. Pelt (June 23): The small peculirr bags of the lichen- 
feeding bagworm were found rather commonly on the trunks of 
Norway maples at Scarsdale. It is not destructive and ordinarily 
escapes attention.
