ELM LEAF-BEETLE ( Galaruc.ella luteo la Muell.) 
A. L. Melander ^September 17): The elm leaf-beetle is reported 
from Chehalis by Frank Dabney, who states that "many of the trees 
look pretty sick and undoubtedly will die if this pest is not 
curbed. All the green matter of the leaves is eaten." We knew 
of the occurrence of this species at ciarkston and about Vancouver, 
Wash., but this is the first report of it to the north. 
PINT 
PIKE DEFOLIATES ( Coloradia pandor a Blake) 
Monthly News Letter, Bureau of Entomology, No. 11?: The "pine de- 
fcliater, ^olcradi a p andora Blake, was discovered in the fhiquito 
Basin. The infestation is evidently very light, since no trees 
could be found that had been noticeably defoliated. The cater- 
pillars w-re found on the ground under trees, where they had evi- 
dently been brought down by the smoke and gases from thp control 
fires. This discovery is interesting, as the species has not 
before been r&poited for this locality. On July 14, Mr. Patterson 
ai rived in the Yos smite National Park to study the present forest 
insoct conditions in this Park. Bark-oeetle infestations in the 
yellow pine, sugar pine, and Jeffrey pine have been very slight 
since the last examinations made in the Park in 1919. The pine 
defoliater was also found in the Park. Caterpillars wore found 
feeding on the Jeffrey pine in the Little Yosemite and in the Snow 
Creek Basin. They wore found on the yellow pine on the Yosemite 
Valley floor. 
IMPORTED PINE SAWFLY (D ipr ion simile Hartig) 
C. R. c r0 sby (August 20): Found eating the needles off of long- 
leaf pine trees in yards— trees 6 years eld, at White Plains; 150 
to 200 caterpillars on one tree. Dr. Howard says that this is 
a new record. (Determination made by Mr. Rohwer.) 
POPLAR 
PACIFIC. POPLAR GIRDLER ( Agrilus nevadensis Horn) 
California Monthly- News Letter, Bureau cf Entomology, No. 112: The tops of 
numerous poplars on an estate near Redwood city, ^alif., have been 
killed by the Pacific flatheaded porlar gfrdDer. The beetles 
which originally caused, the trouble appear tc nave core from the 
native black coitonwoods along the banks cf the creeks. Cutting 
out end burning the infested wood was recommended for control.
