BLUEBERRY 
CHAIN-SPOTTED GEOMETER ( Cingilia catenaria Drury) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 23): During the first week in June a very 
serious outbreak occurred in blueberry fields in the hill towns in the 
lower Connecticut River Valley. In 193& our attention was called to a 
slight infestation, covering approximately 2 acres, in that section. The 
late frost of May 193^» however, wiped out the crop. Some of the area was 
burned over this year early in the spring. The infestation has now spread 
throughout the Granville section and approximately 50 acres have been com- 
pletely defoliated. Tflhen we visited the fields the insect was advancing 
about 10 feet a day, leaving havoc in its path. This is the ^most severe 
infestation of this pest that we have ever observed,
