Connecticut W. E. Britton and assistants. "This insect is entirely skeletoniz- 
ing the birch trees in Tolland and New Haven, and generally through- 
out the eastern part of the State. Nearly all gray birches are 
now brown. Other trees are attacked but ldss seriously injured." 
New York E. P. Felt (September 23). "This insect has leen exceptionally 
abundant on birches, especially in the northern portion of the 
State and particularly in the AdirondacJo. Considerable areas in 
this latter section and adjacent thereto have been so thoroughly 
skeletonized that practically all the leaves dried and dropped.

Wisconsin C. L. Fluke. "Every tree of whatever variety with the exception of 
evergreens is infested with the worm and it begins to look as though 
the trees would be destroyed. The territory infested covers 
thousands of acres, several hundreds of which belong to the City of 
Two Rivers. Cocoons are now being formed, so the damage is over for 
thi6 season."

areas ."
