E» P. Felt (July 28); Elm leaf-beetles are generally present 
in small numbers in the Hudson Valley, though occasional 
groups of trees, particularly English elms, are seriously 
injured. This latter may be associated with unusually 
favorable food, such as European elms or exceptional near-by 
winter shelter, such as sheds and belfries. 
C R„ Crosby and assistants: In Dutchess County on August 
2 these insects were v ery destructive and practically all 
varieties of elms were skeletonized this year. 
Geo. M» Codding (August 20) : In sections throughout Westchester 
County, the elm leaf beetle is defoliating many of the elms. 
This pest is worse than it has been for several years. 
R» H, Pettit (July 23); This insect ^as found at Monroe, 
Mich,, on this date. C, L Burtrm, county tegr icul tural agent," 
has just brought in specimens and reports the partial 
defoliation of a goodly number of elms in the city of Monroe. 
T» D, Urbahns (August 3)* Upon investigating an attack of 
the elm leaf beetles on street trees in Fresno this species 
was for the first time recorded from this State. Trees were 
being defoliated on several blocks, and in about eighty 
blocks were signs of infestation. The elm Is an important 
shade tree throughout the State and every effort will prbbably 
be made to keep the pest down* Three generations are expected' 
in the long summer season, 
LOCUST ; 
LOCUST LEAF-MINER (Chalepus dorsal is Thunb. ) 
H« Sarman (August 23): Probably our most noticeable insect 
injury at the present time is that due to the locust leaf 
miner. The black locust is a common tree in Kentucky, and 
everywhere in the eastern part of the State it is recognizable 
at a distance by its brown appearance, caused by the attacks 
of these insects.

GOUTY VEIN SALL (Dasyneura co mmunis Felt . ) 
H. Barman (August 23): Sugar maples are suffering from 
injury by a small goat whose galls, consisting of elongated 
swellings on the veins of the leaves, are due to the species 
described by Felt as Dasy neur a communis . 
COTTONY MAPLE SCALE ( Pulviftaria vitis L. ) 
Co R» Cleveland (August 19): The cottony maple scale is 
killing 90ft maples at Frankfort. It has also kfcfcracted 
unusual attention at Fowler.
