GENERAL 
JAPANESE BEETLE f Popillia japonic a Newr.) 
Loren B. Smith (Octooer 14): With reference to the spread of the 
Japanese beetle during the current year, I may say that the insect 
has not spread as much as was anticipated early in the season,. Ir 
Pennsylvania the insect nes increased the area of its distribution 
for a distance of about one township in width outside of the area 
infested last year. In northern New Jersey the spread amounted 
to about the sj'e as in Pennsylvania; in other words, about 8 to 12 
miles outside the previously infested territory. V. r e have found 
beetles quite generally distributed throughout southern New Jersey 
and ceiieve the insect to occur more cr less generally throughout 
that territory. There have been numerous reports of the insect 
occurring in States other than New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsyl- 
vania, but we have followed up all such reports that have com e to 
cur attention and in no case have we been able to verify infesta- 
tions occurring in outside States.
