APHIDS (Aphiidae) 
Massachusetts. A. I, Bourne (May 25): Aphids are less abundant than nor- 
mal and no serious outbreaks have been observed* 
Connecticut. p. Carman (May 22): The rosy apple aphid ( Anuraphis roseus 
Baker) is scarce or absent; have seen, no orchard where the species is 
abundant. The apple aphid ( Aphis pomi DeC. ) shows a slight increase

aphids be found* 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (May 25): The rosy apple aphid is scarce. 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (May 23): The fruit aphids, R. prunifoliae , A. 
£omi, and A. roseus , are present in apple orchards in very small num- 
bers. In some orchards colonies of the rosy have been developed to 
large size, perhaps owing to the warm dry weather, but no injury is 
expected.

Washington. E. J. Newcomer (May 18): Damage to fruit in the Yakima Valley
