PINE NOCTUID ( panolis c?riseo varie gata Goeze) 
S« S» Crossman (October l6): Speaking of the devastated 
forests in Brandenbttrg and West Prussia, particular ly the pines, 
I wish to state that while I was traveling from the Polish 
frontier toward Berlin for two hours after leaving the Polish 
frontier we passed through a pine area which was almost 100 
per cent defoliated. I was, of course, on a train at this 
time and was unable to see any of the insects which were causing 
the injury. I asked several entomologists in Berlin if they 
knew the insect which was causing the damage and they told me 
it waa Panolis gr iseova r iegata Goeze. Of course, I am not 
positive that this is the species which caused the damage, not 
having seen it myself, but I know this insect is at times a 
serious enemy of pine in Europe.
