captured. The description of the insect "by the growers, together 
with the numerous runs, seems to indicate that the infestation is 
of nolo crickets, which have not hitherto been found in seedbeds 
here. Last year the first commercial attack was recorded by A. I, 
Bourne in Massachusetts on potatoes. (Sec I., P. S. Bull. Vol. 17, 
p. U50. November 1, 1937,)

South Carolina. F. F. Bondy (April 13): The first two weevils of the 
season were observed in Florence County in a field near a barn where 
cotton seed had been stored. (April 23):, Not as much weevil acti-

and cotton is a week or 10 days late. (April 30): First weevils 
caught on flight screen on April 25 and collected "on cotton on 'the ' 
26th. 
Georgia. P. M. Gilmer (April 2): Considerable movement of hibernated 
weevils to fields reported by farmers. (April 23): Insect activity 
has been rather light because of the unfavorable weather conditions. 
A rather high survival of weevils is indicated by activity in hiber- 
nation cages, (April 30): Weevils are becoming abundant and in 
some fields over 600 por acre have been found. 
Florida. C. S. Rude (April 30): Only a few \7ccvils have been found on 
cotton in the vicinity of Gainesville, and a few have been reported 
from Madison County.
