and southern part of State. Very much less than last year.

Long Island the apple and thorn skeletonizer is not nearly as

chards they are doing no appreciable injury. 
TENT CAT ERP ILIA R ( Malacosoma americana Fab. ) 
W. 3. Britton (August 23): Egg clusters very abundant everywhere, 
Geo. M. Codding (August 20): At the present time many egg masses

bad outbreak next year unless these egg masses are killed- You

usually prevalent throughout Westchester County this year. Whole 
orchards have been defoliated, as well as trees growing along the 
roadsides.
