ASH 
A SAWFLY ( Tomosthcthus bardus Say) 
Maryland. 3. N. Cory (May 19): This insect is again injuring ash in Prince 
Georges County. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 24): A large ash tree on a city lot in Columbus was 
almost defoliated by sawfly larvae ( Monophadnus barda Say) before the 
owner noticed them. When the tree was visited the larvae were wandering 
about over tree- and ground and crawling up a nearby building and fence. 
Thousands of the larvae had attempted to go up the tree trunk again after 
dropping to the ground. This is the first Ohio record of injury from 
this sawfly that has come to us. 
CARPENTER WORM ( Prionoxystus robiniae Peck) 
North Dakota.. J. A. Munro (May 20): The carpenter worm is doing much damage 
to green ash at Mandan and Bismarck. Also found it present in northwest 
poplar at Mandan. It is moderately abundant at Mandan and Bismarck. Ap- 
parently this is our first record of its presence in anything but green 
ash.

PIMP- BLIGHT BEETLE ( Anisandrus pyri Peck} 
Washington. M. H. Hatch (April 29): A. vyri is very abundant in a small 
stand of young chestnut trees on the University of Washington campus. The 
trunks of the trees are about one inch in diameter and the trees are being 
attacked by chestnut blight.
