BIRCH 
A CASE BEARER ( Coleophora salmani Heinr. ) 
Maine. H. B. Peirson (August): An outbreak of this species at Sorrento

spread over to red oak and caused severe injury. 
BRONZE BIRCH BORER ( Aarilus anxius C-ory)

European elm scales were found on several trees of Zelkova serrata, a 
relative of the elm. 
Ohio. E. W. Mendenhall (August 13): The European elm scale is abundant 
in some of the nurseries in central Ohio.

LARC H 
LARCH SAWELY ( Lygaeonematu s erichsonii Htg. ) 
Canada. J. C Evenden (July): The forest-insect laboratory at Vernon, 
British Columbia, has recorded the presence of the eastern larch saw- 
fl 1 " in the Flathead Basin, just north of the Canadian line. As in 193^ > 
several outbreaks of a larch sawfly, determined as ITemat inae , were re- 
corded from adjacent territor; 1 - in the United States, it is very possible 
that the insects on both sides are of the same species. The prercnt out- 
breaks have not as yet reached serious proportions and hrve caused no 
irrecoverable damage.
