WESTERN riNE BEETLE ( Dendroc tonus brevieomis Lee.) 
California Monthly Letter, Bureau of Entomology,- No. 205, ("ay): It was 
found that the western pine beetle, which had been in an en- 
demic status for the past four years, suddenly increased dur- 
ing the season of 1930, and that large groups of trees within 
these plots of the Sierra National Forest have been attacked. 
As the winter of 1930-31 has been one of the driest on record, 
these plots will afford an excellent opportunity to study the 
effect of moisture deficiency on an increasing infestation of 
the western pine beetle.
