0RIENTA1 MOTH ( Cnidocampa flavescena Walk. ) 
A. F. Burgess: . The "Bureau of Entomology has not made a survey 
of the spread of this insect this season. From casual observa- 
tions and collections, and from reports of the State of Massa- 
chusetts Nursery Inspector it appears that this insect was not 
unusually abundant, this season and that it has not dispersed to 
any great extent, still being confined within the bounds of 
greater Boston. 
SATIN MOTH ( Stilpnotia salicis L. ) 
A. F. Burgess: Field observations indicate that the satin moth 
has spread greatly during the' season. The intensity of the in- 
festation in many sections was very severe. Lombardy, Carolina, 
and silver, poplars and willows were entirely defoliated in many 
towns from Cape Cod to the southern part of Maine. New disper- 
sion records obtained by the State officials of Maine, New Hamp- 
shire, and Massachusetts and the United States Bureau of Entomology 
show that the satin moth has spread as far north as Warren, Maine, 
and Moult onbo rough, N. H. To the west it has reached Wilton and 
Mason, N. H. , and the towns in a line running north and south 
through Worcester, in Massachusetts. The eastern one- third of 
Ehode .Island and all of the Cape area in Massachusetts are in- 
fested.

A SCALE 
M. H. Swenk (September 25): One of our county agricultural 
agents has sent in a branch of what he says is a hackberry tree, 
and which seems really to be that, considerably infested with a 
scale. This agent is located in Hall County and says that the 
trees in one section of Grand Island are badly infested. 
A CQQCINELLID ( Crypto la emus mor.trouzieri Muls. ) 
A. H. Rosenfeld (August 21 ): While Mr. Wolcott was here this 
week, he called my attention to dense clusters of these coccin- 
cllid larvae on trunks and branches of bucare trees, Erythrin^ 
glauca, assuring me that, before inroduction of C. montrouzieri 
from California by Van Bine in 1911, these trees were practic- 
ally defoliated ty Pseudo coccus citri Hisso. These mealybugs 
are now very scarce on the bucpres, but the Cryptolaemus does 
not seem to attack near-by P. calceolaria e Mask, on su^ircane, 
for which purpose it was imported. 
WHITE- MAEKEB TUSSOCK MOTH ( Hemerocampa lc-ucostigpa S. & A. ) 
J. J. Davis (September 24): The white-marked tussock moth was 
reported defoliating small plum trees at Union City.
