noted in apple orchards in this area but no severs feeding was 
observed in the woodland,, A few other reports have been received 
indicating fairly heavy infestations but from widely separated 
localities., 
Here has been practically no change in 'the infested area. The 
island of Mt„ iDeser" 5 ;, Maine, was found to be infested and has
