K)R3ST TiM 1 OATERPILLAE (Mai aco soma di sstria Ilbn. ) 
H. B. Pierson (June 23): Severe defoliation has "been caused 
"by the tent caterpillar in Hancock County. 
v7. J. Schoene (June 23): The tent caterpillars in orchards 
and forests have attracted a great deal of attention during 
the past spring throughout the central part of the State. 
The moths were present from June 10 to 20 and during this 
period were so numerous in the cities of Lynchburg and Roa- 
noke that some of the merchants turned out their lights and 
closed the doors. 
H. T. Fernald, (May 6 - 10): The forest tent caterpillar 
moth was very abundant at lights. 
WHITE-MAEKED TUSSOC'iC MOTH ( Hemerocamp a leucostigma S. & A. ) 
D. 3, 'Jhelan (May 15 - June 15): The eggs of the v/hite-

BAGnTOBM ( Thyri dopt eryx ephemeraef o rmi s Haw.) 
S. W. Mcndenhall (June 28): Bagworms are making their ap- 
pearance on sycamore trees in Columbus. They are just start- 
ing, for the larvae with bags attached are very small. June 
26, young bagworms were very bad on locust trees planted 
along the street and private property in Xenia, Greene Coun- 
ty. 
BARX EESTL3S ( Dendroc tonus spp.) 
R. D. Glasgow (June 22): I was impressed with the unusual 
number of pine, hemlock, and spruce trees which apparently 
were recently dead from borer injury and which still retained 
the reddened foliage. Large numbers of trees also showed 
from one to many branches with reddened foliage, indicating 
borer work. An increased amount of borer injury is to be ex- 
pected following the past two seasons of unusually dry weather, 
EUROPEAN PRUIT LECANIUM ( Eulecaniten corni Bouche ) 
H. L. Bailey (June 20): An unusual outbreak of Lecanium 
scale has occurred at Montpelicr. Twigs and small branches 
of elm, ash, silver maple and some other trees and shrubs 
bear great numbers of the 'scale. 3ggs unhatched. Lighter 
infestations were noted in nearby towns,
