Arkansas. D. Isoly (July 20): The boll weevil was quite generally dis- 
tributed ovor the cotton-producing part of the State "by early July, 
where it is more generally distributed than in any year on record 
except 1923 and 1932- Since then excessive dry weather has appeared 
to have checked its development in many counties. 
Oklahoma. F. A. Fonton (July 22): The infestation continues to "be threat- 
ening; however, a 2— week period of hot, dry weather in early July has 
apparently checked the infestation somewhat. 
C. F. Stiles (July 22): Appearing in larger numbers in south- 
eastern Oklahoma than they have in a number of yoars. 
E. E. Ivy (July 25): Infestation in McCurtain County has increased 
steadily since early in May. Still somewhat spotted, some fields 
having from 50 to 60 percent of the squares punctured, others having 
less than 10 percent. Average probably near 25 or 30 percent at present.

A WEEVIL ( Epicaerus formidolosus Boh. ) 
Florida. C. S. Rude (June 30): Has been very abundant in the cotton 
fields in the Gainesville area. Estimated to be about 1,000 per acre 
in experimental fields, but somewhat less abundant now. Found in 
exactly the same parts of the cotton plant as the boll weevil and 
constant care required while making weevil counts net to confuse the 
two insects. No damage found that could bo directly connected with 
the insect. Not found on weeds or other crops when area bordering 
these fields was searched. (Det. by L. L. Buchanan.)
