Abundant as compared with average years at Rockland, and at Bain- 
bridge in Chenango County (L. J. ~. Jones). More abundant than 
usual about Ceneseo, Livingston County (R-. A. Green). More ahun 
dant than in a number of years at Orient, Suffolk: County (Hoy 
Latham). The pest is somewhat abundant locally in the upper 
Hudson Valley, the caterpillar being mere than half grown. 
(liay 25): The apple tent caterpillar, Malacc soma ameri car.a , oc- 
curs in less numbers than during the past few years in the terri- 
tory extending from Poughkeepsie , south of Few York City and easl 
of Long Island to East Hampton, its numbers being approximately 
one-fourth those of two vears a.°;o and. in some sections probably 
3L M. Armstrong) . 
'7. S. Blauvelt (May ?-) : Tent caterpillars arc abundant on apples 
and peaches in Orange County. 
C. P.. Crosby and assistants ( April 22): In the Hudson Valley 
the newly formed nests are commonly found on roadside trees and 
not uncommonly in conmercial plantings, attacking apples and other*. 
fruits. In western llev York this pest is rarely found in commer- 
cial plantings, but is fairly common on roadside trees. 
Pennsylvania H. E. Hodgkiss (May 27): Abundant in many apple orchards in som- 
central count iesV where neglected or where spraying oils were ap- 
plied in delayed dormant, none where lead arsenate was used in 
delayed dormant. 
APRICOT LSAl'-TTEEVIL ( Par apt elm s sellatus Boh. ) 
Oregon Don C. Mote (April 1927 ) : The oak ^cevil . Paraptochus sellatus , 
was observed April 12 by 3. G. Thompson feeding on apple grafts. 
SFHIM3- C AMEER WORM (Pa leacrita v errata Pec'ic) 
iTew York A. M. Boyce (May 2): A few spring canker worm larvae have been 
found in Ulster County feeding on the foliage. 
E. P. Pelt (May 25): C anker uorms , probably the spring canker 
worm, appeared, within the last few days in southeastern West- 
chester County, that is, along the north shore of Long Island, 
though not m large numbers. It is Quite abundant in Vhite 
Plains and it has appeared farther north toward Mt. ICisco, where 
it had caused very little damage heretofore. It is suggested 
that spraying and increase in the number of insect enemies has 
greatly reduced this pest adjacent to Long Island Sound whereas 
in the uncontrolled areas northward there has been a very defi- 
nite increase. 
TARKISHED PLaKT BUG (Lyeus p ratensis L.) 
Pennsylvania H. E. Hodgkiss (May 27): Pound in abundance in central Pennsyl- 
vania puncturing stems of apple clusters as they are in the pin!
