H. F. Dietz (April 28): The oyster-shell scale, the light "brown 
form of Glenn, was hatching in large numbers on April 22 to 26. 
This is the earliest hatching since 1922, at which time hatching 
began on April 24. In 1924 the first hatching date was May 16 
and hatching continued intermittently until June 1. These re- 
cords are on material that has been under observation sincell921.

J. J. Davis (April 30): Eggs of the oyster-shell scale were not 
hatching at Lafayette on April 29 although Mr. Dietz reports hatch- 
ing at Indianapolis. 
ROUNDHEADED APPLE TREE SORER ( Saperda Candida Fab. ) 
W. S. Abbott (May 18): A borer, apparently S. Candida , has killed 
or seriously injured a number of young apple trees in a small or- 
chard near Vienna. 
.APPLE FLEA WEEVIL ( Orchestes pal li corn is Say) 
D. D. Ward (April 25): A very severe infestation was observed in 
one or two plantings in Onondaga County. 
B. A. Porter (May 21): Slightly more abundant than last year. 
On May 7 I noted the first pupa and on May 16 nearly all the 
larvae were mature and one- third of then had pupated. 
FRUIT-TREE LEAF SYNETA ( Syneta albida Lee. ) 
E. J. Newcomer (May l): This is the first time this insect, which 
is a rather important pest in the coastal regions of Washington and 
Oregon, has been noted in the Yakima Valley. It has previously 
been reported, east of the Cascade Mountains, only at Walla Walla. 
CLOVER MITE (Prypbia praetiosa Koch) 
D. D. Ward (April 11): The eges of this pest are found very 
commonly in orchards in south Onondaga. 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetranychus pilosus C. & F. ) 
Philip Garman (May 22): Dry weather in the section about New 
Haven has favored development. More abundant than at this time 
last year. 
E. P. Felt (May 25): Eggs were somewhat numerous in some northern 
Columbia County orchards in early spring. Many mites hatched, 
though there appears to have been a material decrease in the in- 
festation during the last two weeks. 
H. A. Go s sard (May 22): The European red mite has been very con- 
spicuous in orchards at Waterville, Hubbard, and Youngstown, and 
in fact over nearly all of northern Ohio.
