R. 3. Friend (June 24): The insect is in flight and appears as 
abundant as last year. Adults have been reared from western 
yellow pine collected in a nursery near New Haven. 
R. D. Glasgow (June 14): The moth has become increasingly 
destructive to pines, particularly to Pin us re si no sa and P. 
ponderosa , in some ports of southeastern New York. This insect 
is a serious pest also of P_^ montana var. mughu s , to P_;_ sylves - 
tris, and to P_j_ nigra , and occurs on other species of pine as 
well. It has been reported by inspectors of the State Bureau of 
Plant Industry and by scouts of the State Conservation Depart- 
ment from many parts of the State. It is reported to be par- 
ticularly well established also in Niagara County. 
A TIP MOTH (Svetria albi card tana Busck) 
H. L. Bailey (June 25): Adults were found in considerable 
number about a large Jack pine plantation on State game preserve ♦ 
at Milton, June 13. The work of this species had previously been 
confused with that of L corns to eld, ana Fern, in this plantation 
and probably elsewhere in the State. 
WHIEE-PINE 7EEVIL (Pissodes strobi Peck) 
H. B. Peirson (June): The white-pine weevil was reported 
June 21 at Augusta as very abundant. Tops of weeviled trees 
just wilting. 
SPRUCE SAWFLY ( Neodiprion abietis Harr.) 
H. E. Peirson (June): The spruce saw-fly "was observed at 
Alfred June 14 defoliating pitch pine. 
PINE BARK APHID ( Pineus s trobi Htg.) 
E. W. Mendenha.ll (Jiine 22): Pine bark aphids (Chermes pini- 
corticis Fitch) were found quite bad on Austrian pine in a 
nursery near Springfield. 
A GALL MITE (Er iophyes pini Nal.) 
R. D. Glasgow (June 14): Mite gall specimens, possibly the 
work of the European pine mite, have been received from western 
New York, where they were collected from young Scotch pine trees 
that are said to have been shipped into the State 4 or 5 years 
ago from a nursery in the Middle West.
