New Jersey. T. L. Guyton (May 12): Cankerworms are numerous on apple and 
forest trees at Lebanon. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 25): Larvae of the fall cankerworm are defoliating 
'many elms in western Ohio. The infestation extends as far east as 
Madison County, though the greatest injury is reported from Greene 
and Clark Counties. The outbreak is very spotted but some complete 
defoliation has already occurred, although the larvae are still less 
than half grown. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (May 20): Spring and fall cankerworms are very abundant 
in the vicinity of Lansing, Grand Ledge, and Lake Odessa. 
FOREST TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma disstria Hbn.) 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (May 25): Forest tent caterpillars are very abundant 
in the southern and western parts of the State. Reports of heavy 
feeding during the week of May 18 came from Bonnirgton, Windsor, and 
Addison Counties. The first hatching from eggs was noted at Middlebury 
o'n May k. Apparently most larvae were in the third instar on May 22-23. 
Connecticut. W. E. Britton (May 19): Observed a few caterpillars crawling 
on trunks of paper birch on my premises at New Haven. 
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. E. P. Felt (May 23): The forest 
tent caterpillar is locally abundant in western Massachusetts, in 
Connecticut, and in areas of New York adjacent to Massachusetts and 
Connecticut. 
New Jersey. T. J. Headlee (May 21 ) : The forest tent caterpillar has been 
common but not injurious in wooded areas. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (Hay 22): Very abundant in the Arrowhead district. 
On May 20 many were hatching, although none were beyond the second 
instar. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (May 23): Specimens were received 
from Wave land on May 1 with the report that they were defoliating 
fruit trees and roses. The heavy infestation which existed last 
month has about disappeared. So many caterpillars were then present 
that the grade of turpentine produced was considerably lowered. 
Louisiana. T. E. Snyder (April): P. Wakeley reports that forest tent 
caterpillars are defoliating several southern hardwood trees more or 
less severely. This condition is general from Slidell and Pearl River 
north through Talisheek and Bush to Bogalusa, and is more severe this 
season than in recent years. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (May 20): Poplars and ash are being severely damaged 
in Washington County by the forest and apple tree tent caterpillar 
( Malacosoma sp.) 
Washington. R. S. Lehman (May): The forest tent caterpillar is doing 
considerable feeding on fruit trees, especially on prunes at Walla Walla.
