Connecticut but slight increases over last year; a considerable increase 
in Rhode Island, totalling somewhere in the. vicinity of 13,000 additional 
acres showing from slight to complete defoliation; in Massachusetts about 
30,000 acres less defoliation than last year (although in the southeastern 
section of this State there was a decided decrease from last year, this 
was offset, to some extent, by the heavy increase in more western sections 
of the State); in Maine, incomplete records indicate about a 4 > ooc, -a cre 
increase over 'last year; and in New Hampshire incomplete records show an 
increase this yeai of over ^0,000 acres. For the entire area, to date, 
there is nearly a 70,000-acre increase over that reported last year, with 
the probability that this will be considerably greater when the records 
for Maine and New Hampshire are complete. In New Jersey 21 male moths 
have been taken from assembling cages in sections of Denville, Mendham, 
Morris, and Randolph. All of the cages put out by State officials were 
placed in the section where the above towns join, covering an area several 
miles in diameter froqi the point at which the infestation was found last 
April. To date 1 male has been taken in Denville; 1 in Mendham; 12 from 
one cage, 2 from another, and 1 from another in Morris; and 3 from one 
cage and 1 from another in Randolph. In Pennsylvania, 11 male moths have 
been taken from assembling cages in the following towns: Blakely, 1; 
■Covington, 3 from a single cage; Fairview, 1; Foster, 3 from, a single 
cage; Frajiklin (in Luzerne County), 1; Lausanne, 1; and Mauch Chunk, 1. 
No male moths have been teken at any of the cages in Vermont, Massachusetts, 
or Connecticut.
