T .7. E. Britton (September 24): Although the activities of this 
insect are now about over for the season, it is a good time to 
report on general -orevalence. Much injury resulted to unsprayed 
elm trees throughout Connecticut, except -possibly at the higher 
elevations;. Less injury for instance in Litchfield County than 
elsewhere, though injury was present there at the lower levels. 
All along the shore and throughout the central valley area of 
the State there was much injury. Many trees were defoliated 
and have since put out anew crop of snail leaves. 
E. '•". Mendenhall (September 8): A severe outbreak was found on 
elm trees on three properties at Lagondia Avenue and Main Street 
in Springfield. This is the first outbreak reported from Spring- 
field, although infestation occurred nearby.

State, from Boone, Greeley, Platte, Adams, and Nuckolls Coun- 
ties west along the streams and in the cities, the elm trees 
were heavily infested with aphids during August. These insects 
produced such copious quantities of honeydew that it drirvoed upon 
the sidewalks, fences, and other objects under the trees, much to 
the disgust of many complainants.
