Marj'land. E. IT. Cory (June 22): May "beetles have "been doing considerable 
damage in various localities in the State. They striked many pin 
oaks in Montgomery and Frederick Counties, and nearly stripped one very 
large white oak in Montgomery County. They have "been reported as feed- 
ing heavily on cherry, elm, and oak. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (June 22): May "beetles have been difficult to obtain 
this season. Excessive rainfall and low temperatures in the evening 
have made flights irregular and light. 
Michigan. R. H u tson (June 11): Various species are emerging in numbers 
throughout the Lower Peninsula. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (June 20): Serious losses from white grubs have 
been observed at several of our larger nurseries in northern Wisconsin 
to evergreen seedlings that had not "been treated. Reports of injury 
to corn and garden crops have also "been received from Pond du Lac, 
Waushara, Vernon, and La Crosse Counties. 
C. L. Fluke (June 22): The predominating species are P. hirticula 
Knoch, P. fusca Proel. , P. rugosa Melsh. , and P. tristis Fah. Others 
less numerous are P. ilicis Knoch, P. implicita Horn, and P. "balia Say. 
Flights have been stead 7 ' since May 23, except for a cold rainy period 
from June lU to 20. Most species are now laying eggs. Bur oak trees 
are stripped throughout southwestern Wisconsin. 
Minnesota. A. A. Granovsky (June 21): Damage from white- grubs is not 
noticeable, although brood C grubs are common. The June beetle flight 
was heavy, especially in the southeastern section of the State, where 
many wood groves are badly defoliated. P. f usca , P. rugosa, P. im- 
plicita , P. futilis Lee, P. drake i Kby. , and. P. anxia Lee. are fairly 
common, although not over the entire area. 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (June lg): White grubs at Self ridge and Fargo. 
Adults began flying at Fargo on June 2. 
Iowa. C. J. Drake (June 2U): Adults are still emerging and defoliating 
trees. Over 15 species have been collected. 
Kansas. H. 1. Bryson (June 27): May beetles reported defoliating Chinese 
elm at Herington. 
Oklahoma. F. A. Fenton (June 2U): The peak catch at the trap light was 
from Mav 7 to 12, inclusive, when 1,750 specimens were taken. The max- 
imum catch was 6^-6 on May 12. Populations for June are very small so 
far, a maximum of 73 being taken on the 8th. 
JAPANESE 3EETLE (Ppjoillia .japonica New-n. ) 
New Jersev. C. H. Hadley (June 27): Owing to cool weather in the spring, 
the immature forms of the Japanese beetle have been retarded in their
