E. P. Felt (June 23): The woolly pine aphid was somewhat 
abundant upon a new planting of Scotch nines at Stamford, Conn.,

North Stamford, Conn., and Mount Kisco, N. Y., 3 to 6 or even 
10 masses of spittle being observed urcn individual branchlets 
and the secretion being so copious that there was an alrr.ost

Scotch pine was especially subject to infestation, though % in 
some cases nearly as manv were observed upon white pine.
