MAPLE LEAF STEM BORER ( Priophoras acericaulis MacG. ) 
Connecticut. '.7. E. Britton (June 23): The maple leaf stem "borer is seemingly- 
more abundant than for several years at New Haven, Hartford, Middletown, 
and Thompsonville on sugar maple. 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 24): During the latter part of May we ob- 
served considerable evidence of the work of the maple stem "borer. From 
personal observation and from reports which we received, it evidently was 
very generally abundant throughout the State. 
New York. E. P. Felt (June 23): Stem-borer work has been reported from Davenport 
Neck, New Rochelle, and Bedford, N. Y. It appears to have .been confined to 
individual trees or groups of trees.

Connecticut, w. 33. Britton (June 23): The maple nepticula was reported attack- 
ing Norway maple at Bedding and Litchfield, infesting the leaf petioles and 
causing leaf blades to drop.

New England and New York. E. P. Felt (June 23): The European pine shoot moth 
is locally very abundant on pines in southwestern New England and sov.~ - 
eastern New York, some of the smaller plantings being so badly infested that 
few shoots have escaped serious injury.

abundant in western Connecticut than was the case last year.
