Kansas. H. R. Bryson (May 24): Very abundant in Doniphan County, in north- 
eastern Kansas, where the first moth was taken on May 7. First moths 
were taken on May 3 in the vicinity of Oxford, in the Arkansas River Val- 
ley. 
Colorado. Geo. M. .List (May 26): The codling moth mortality was very low 
during the winter. The season is bringing the moths out earlier than 
we have ever recorded. At Grand Junction, Mesa County, the first moths 
were taken in traps on April 15. By April 25 the catches indicated 
that the peak of emergence of the spring-brood moths was approaching. 
J. H. Newton reported that the first moths were taken in traps at Paonia, 
Delta County, on April 21 and that a large number was taken during the 
last days of the month. In the Fort Collins district the first moths 
were taken in traps on May 15 and large numbers were taken on May 20 and 
21. 
Idaho. R, w, Haegele (May 21): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Worms have been entering fruit since about May 1 in the southwestern 
part of Idaho. 
Utah. C. J. Sorenson (May 26): The codling moth is very abundant in Cache, 
Davis, and Utah Counties. 
Washington, E. I. Newcomer (May l8): Temperatures have been more normal 
in Washington during May than in April, and only slight injury has oc- 
curred to the host fruits, apples and pears. What may prove to be the 
maximum emergence took place from May 10 to 14, 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma americana Fab.) 
Northeastern U.S. J. V. Schaffner, Jr., (May 19 - 25): On May 12 C. W. 
Collins noted very heavy infestations in the northern part of Delaware 
• and the eastern part of Pennsylvania. The first hatching noted was on 
April 17 at Woodstock, Conn., and also at Melrose, Mass. On April 21 
J* E. R. Holbrook examined 51 e gg clusters in the field at Melrose and 
found 50 of them hatching and 27 densely covered with larvae. Infesta- 
tion is generally heavy throughout Massachusetts, the northeastern 
part of Connecticut, and the southern parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, 
and Maine. Through the northeastern part of Vermont and the northern 
part of New Hampshire the tents are very scarce, and one can travel 
many miles without seeing any. At Lyme, N.H., some wild cherry trees 
were examined and several egg clusters were found which had failed to 
hatch. 
Maine. H. B. Peirson (May 20): The eastern tent caterpillar overwintered 
v/ell. Hatching started April 30 at Augusta and was apparently normal. 
Larvae are very abundant and from Waterville south are more abundant 
than in 1933 . 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (May 26): Although very abundant in the southern 
part of the State, outside the mountain area, the tent caterpillar is
