status of the infestation and to collect additional information on the 
life history of the species. It was found that there had "been no addi- 
tional defoliation subsequent to the first examination, that practically 
no cocoons remained on the twigs, needles, or other exposed places, and 
that most of the cocoons on the ground were abandoned. Ho living saw- 
flies were found, except a few overwintering larvae in cocoons. These 
appeared to be hold-overs from the main emergence nf last fall. The 
conditions of the trees strengthened the belief that but slight timber 
losses will occur in this area.
