GIPSY MOTH f' i*Porthetria d is par L.) 
W« E. Eritton (April 24). "f touting by State and Federal 
men shows a widespread scattered infestation throughout Tolland, 
Hartford, and the northern edges of Litchfield and Middlesex 
Counties. Even V'olcott, in Mew Haven County, is slightly 
infested. This about doubles the area in Connecticut known 
to have been infested last year. Increase apparently due to 
wind spread in 1920 and 1921. In a few cases old eF.p: clusters 
were found which hatched in 1921 and new ones near by." 
Ul TBRELL A AT T ( Atta texana B u c k . ) 
T. H. Jones (December 27, 1921). "A few years ago I recorded, 
in the Journal of Economic Entomology, the occurrences of the 
ant Atta texana at Glenmora in Rapides Parish, this State. 
I believe this was the first notice in print of its occurrence 
outside the State of Texas. I have recently received specimens 
6ent in by Mr. J. H. Cook, of Minden, La., with the information 
that they were secured from " sec 26 T. 18 R 8 about three miles 
southwest of Taylor Station (Bienville Parish) on the V. S* and 
P. R. R." Mr. Cook also writes that he has found a colony at 
Minden "that looks like the same kind." It is quite possible 
that were a careful survey made, this ant would be found to have 
a much more widespread distribution in the State than our present 
records indicate."
