New England. L. H. Worthley (May 6): In Nev Hampshire hatching was first 
observed on April 26. An apparently heavy infestation is reoorted in 
the Concord district. Massachusetts inspectors first observed signs of 
hatching on April 22. Cool weather kept the larvae near the egg masses

in the Westerly section. Connecticut inspectors renort hatching as 
having "begun in the Middletown district on April 20, in Willimantic
