Connecticut W. E. Brit ton (September 24): There is much injury this 
season in the infested area where lawns have not been treated. 
Hew York C. H. Hadley and assistants, Japanese Beetle Laboratory 
(August): At the Jericho infestation, where the severe droughts 
of 1929 and 1930 reduced the abundance of the insect so that 
it was difficult to find grubs, they have multiplied again 
so that half an acre of turf injury/ - by grubs has appeared 
on the lawn of the J. S. Stevens estate. The insect is 
definitely more abundant throughout the area than in 1930. No 
new infestations have been observed, but at the old infestations 
the abundance is rapidly increasing, except where the lawns 
have been treated."

during 1930 and more foliage injury has been observed. Heavy 
infestations occur on Long Island throughout the northern 
half of Nassau and Queens Counties, around the towns of 
Jericho, Glen. Cove, Locust Valley, Roslyn, Old Westbury, 
Port Washington, Groat Neck, Little Neck, Douglaston, and
