Louisiana. W. E. Anderson (August 23): Unusually numerous in the State. 
A WEEVIL ( Calomycterus setarius Roelcf s) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (August 26): Collected from a nursery in 
Holyoke, on the Connecticut River. The weevil was found indoors on 
wax begonia, kalanchoe, ivy, and chrysanthemum, and out of doors on 
one of the native poplars. Doing most damage to "begonia. (Det. "by 
L . L . Buchanan . ) 
Pennsylvania, L. J. Bottimer (August): Examples of this species received 
from H. P. Hopper, who collected them in Philadelphia on July U. 
COMMON RED SPIDER ( Tetranychus telarius L.) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (August 2k): An unusual number of complaints 
of mites, or red spider, particularly on evergreens, received. This 
is somewhat surprising, considering the frequent heavy rains. 
Pennsylvania. H. E. Hodgkiss (August 25): Reported as causing damage in 
various places. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (August 2k) : Rather abundant on some trees, such as 
soft maple and oak, causing loaves to whiten and, in the case of 
maple, sometimes to drop. Perennials, such as phlox, also heavily in- 
fested. Infestations rather general but more inquiries from the 
northern half of the State. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (August 22) : Two-spotted mite very common during 
July and August on all sorts of fruit trees, reported from Jonesville, 
Cassopolis, St. Joseph, Stevensvillo, Paw Paw, South Haven, Grand 
Rapids, Lansing, Farmington, and Mount Clemens. 
Arkansas. D. I.sely (August 22): Severe local injury to cotton has 
occurred througout the Delta, northeastern Arkansas. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (August 2^) : Causing considerable injury to elm 
trees. Abundant on late beans, garden flowers, and some varities of 
weeds. 
California. Exch. Pest Control Circ. (August): Red spiders more or less 
persistent during the summer, especially in the interior areas, where 
considerable treatment has been necessary. The recent hot spell has 
checked the pest to some degree but not sufficiently to eliminate the 
possibility of another early build-up.
