er.tomologists or entomological workers in States where 
spread is recorded- The most ry-o ;:r ;hy spread has oosa 
to the north. "'. Ohio, where it occurs as far north a.> 
Columbus, in Franklxn county. This most northern infestation 
of which we have a record ia aboufc 150 miles from the most 
northern ir festat J on which res recorded a year ago. viz.. 
irr Payette Oovnty, E?n iky. X; is be] ieveu that the imect 
spreai at lea&t \00 miles to the north during last season, 
Tie spread eastward in North Carolina, as determined "by 
Prof. Eranklin Sherman and coworkers, is also quite remarkable, 
the insect having sr-ro-d about 75 miles from 'the most eastern 
point known to be infested last year and over 100 miles from 
the infestation. recorded in Swain County last year. The 
spread eastward in South Carol 5.i\a las also been quite extended, 
as shown oy the records of Prof, A. F« Conradi and Mr. J. A. 
Berly. It is quite likely that the infestation extends from 
Grayson County in Virginia oe B?.and County, although no 
records are available, and it is also quite likely that the 
infestation extends from Mercer County in West Virginia across 
to Mason County en the Ohio River , although no records are 
available in this cas°, Tn.Q only spread to the west recorded 
^ n 1923 are the one in Meade Ccv.'.iey, Ky. , reported 'cy Prof. 
H.. Earman, and the •infestation ?n Itawamba and Tishomingo 
Counties in Mississippi, reporced by Prof. P a YT„ Earned 
and coworkers. To the south, the only records of spread we 
have are the one from Lee County. Ala., where it was found 
by Or. F„ L. Tboma-s, and from Lainar County, Ga. t (formerly 
a. part of Pike County),. reported by the gounty agent and Mr. 
Cil'i , of the Bureau. Careful search for the beetle in southern 
Illinois and Indiana l©ve been made by Messrs. VI, P. Flint and 
J» J. Davis, of those States,, and the beetle has not been 
■ found, 
Alabama Fv L. Thomas (March 20) : I\To large colonies have been, found 
because of the comparatively small fall infestation, but a 
half dozen specimens have been found, allmof which were alive. 
New Mexico R. MidoJ.ebrook (March 11): The bean beetle was found in 
hibernation still viable. It seems also tc have withstood 
the w inter. Owing to the fact that there has been a severe 
drought for the last three years, I am informed thav very 
few beetles remain in hibernation in the bean growing sections 
of the dry part of the State.
