FALL CANKER WORM Ulso-ohila -oometaria Harr. ) 
W. Moore (February 25): Recently I made an exact count 
of this insect and found on eight maple trees (one a hard 
maple and the balance soft maple) from 200 to 835 females per 
tree, the average number being 474. The size of the tree 
had little to do with the number, as the greatest number 
was present on a soft maple very near to the woods, V7hile 
the smallest number was on a maple standing on the far side 
of the house from the voods. These numbers are probably 
smaller than is actually the case, since undoubtedly many 
of the females have been cashed away between November and 
the present time.
