BAGWORM (Thyr idopteryx ephemera e f ormi s Haw.) 
Ohio, E. 7/. Mendenhall (March l6): . In examining cocoons of the bagworm in 
the central and southern parts of the State I find the eggs have over- 
wintered very well and it looks as though there will be a heavy infesta- 
tion this season, 
Indiana, J. J, Davis (March 21): Many inquiries from as far north as La 
Fayette have been received regarding the abundance of the bagworm. 
ELM. 
ELM LEAF BEETLE (Ga lerucella xanthomelaena Schr.) 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (March 2o): An unusual swarming into a house in Bal- 
timore County was noted, 
A BARK BEETLE ( Scolytus multistriatu s Mar sham) 
Connecticut, B, J. Kaston (March 23): Dead adults were found at New Haven 
in brood tunnels on February 11, Live hibernating larvae, apparently 
almost ready to pupate, were also present. This species is relatively 
uncommon, as compared with the native bark beetle Hylurgopinus rufipes 
Eich, This native bark beetle is apparently much more numerous in the 
eastern part of the State, becoming more common the farther east one col- 
lects. Many dead adults were found in egg galleries especially in the 
town of Old Lyme, Some young scolytid imagoes were found dead in the 
pupal cell. There are many hibernating larvae but no pupae, 
Em BORER ( Saperda tridentata Oliv.) 
Connecticut. E, J". Kaston (March): Half-grown and larger larvae are common. 
In one tree at Danielson on March l8 almost every tunnel contained a pupa 
of an unidentified hymenopterous parasite. 
EUROPEAN ELM SCALE ( Gossyp aria spuria Mod.) 
Wisconsin, E, L» Chambers (March 20): The European elm scale is making its 
appearance in a few additional localities in southern Wisconsin each year. 
It is still confined to 8 or 10 cities where spraying is carried on each 
year, Madison has sprayed practically all the elm trees in the city 
this spring. 
Colorado, G. M, List (March 19 ) j The European elm scale has been on 
the increase during the last two or three seasons. It now occurs in prac- 
tically all sections of the State where elms are grown. The indications 
are that the winter mortality has been very low, 
PUTNAM'S SCALE ( Aspidiotus ancylus Putn.) 
Connecticut and New Jersey, E. P. Felt (March 25): Putnam's scale was
