LAHCH 
LARCH CASE BEABEH ( Goleaphora l aricella Hbn.) 
Maine A. E. Brower (June 9): Maine is experiencing a severe out- 
break of the larch case bearer. 
Vermont H. L t Bailey (June 22): Damage by the larch case bearer 
continued to increase through the early part of the month. 
Adults were found to have emerged and eggs were found at Ber- 
lin. 
Massachusetts A. I, Bourne (June 26): The larch case bearer is apparent- 
ly more abundant than normally. Many complaints and samples 
showing severe injury have been received from all parts of 
the State. This species apparently has found conditions very 
favorable for an unusual increase in numbers this season. 
Hew York R. D. Glasgow (June 22): I left Albany Sunday evening, 
June 14, and made a three-day circuit through northern Hew 
York via Lake George, Schroon Lake, St. Hubert's, Upper Jay, 
Lake Placid, Tupper Lake, and Piercefield to Cranberry Lake, 
returning via Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Indian Lake, 
and Speculator. I found the larch to be severely injured 
by the larch case bearer throughout this entire circuit ex- 
cept that there appeared to be an area just north of Schroon 
lake where the larch was uninjured. 
Pennsylvania J. H. Knull (June 24): Hative larch, five miles west of 
Milford, Pike County, is infested T rith the larch case bear- 
er. The needles on many trees are partly brown. Many larch 
trees have died in this locality. This may be due to the 
feeding of this insect together with the late spring frosts. 
MAPLE 
MAPLE HEPTICUULA ( Kept i cula soricouoza Zell.) 
Hew England E. P. Pelt (June 23): The maple nepticula very generally 
infests fallen maple seeds in southeastern Hew England, and 
to a limited extent the larvae may bo found working in the 
petioles of leaves. This latter is more likely to occur on 
trees which are not producing fruit, 
MAPLE LEAP STEM BOBEH ( Priophorus acericaulis MacG. ) 
Connecticut 1. E. Britton (June 22): Apparently more abundant on sug- 
ar maple in Middletown, Water town, Hamden, and Glastonbury 
than in most seasons. It has not been seen for several 
years until this summer.
