information that bhay were also present on oaks and several other kinds 
of trees in one nej hbarhocd in Shrevepcrt, the trees being practically 
covered with the pea : ;. So far L;o I am aware this is a now locality for-

ilifornia 0. 3. Bremner (September 20). "This is the heaviest infestation ob- 
served in Sonoma for a number of years, where we estimate that 10 per 
cent of the crop was damaged." 
A. J. Plebut (October 3). "The injury expected because of the large 
number of adults present in the spring did not materialize in the Fresno 
district, although scattered infestations show considerable loss of 
foliage, especially where the water conditions were not good. At present 
it looks as though a large number of adults would go into hibernation 
this fall." 
GBAP2 JEAuYBUG (Pseu dococcus maritjmus Ehrh. ) 
lifornia A. J. Plebut (October 3) . "This insect is much less abundant than 
usual in the Fresno district. Twelve reports of infested fruit coming 
into padding houses in this county compared with 115 reports in 1920. 
Traces con only be found in vineyards which ^ers heavily infested last 
year. All cases reported are very slight, rnd the experimental work of 
the past season rendered a failure, tec -use checks were ;:lso free from 
the pest. The large reaction in numbers is due in part to parasitism 
by Pseud qphycos sp." 
ACHBIflDN SPHINX (Pholus achemon Drary) 
Lifornia A. J. Flebut (October 3). "The outbreak which -..as threatened at ilerced 
County has been entirely cleaned up by timely spraying for the first 
brood. No second or third brood showed up in that area which was entire- 
ly defoliated."
