ately abundant in Norfolk, Princess Anne, and Northampton 
Counties and exceedingly abundant in Accomac County, where in 
some fields there were an average of three or four egg-masses 
per plant. Most growers in this region have started to. apply 
insecticides to their plants. 
W. A, Thomas (May 6): This insect was observed today depositing 
eggs not only on potatoes but also on clods of dirt, dead sticks, 
and weeds in the potato field, in the vicinity of Chadbourn. 
This habrit of depositing eggs on objects other .than solanaceous 
plants is rather unusual in this section. Although oviposition 
has been extremely heavy this season, the resulting larvae have 
not been so numerous as in previous years,
