Colorado. G. M. List (April 21): Examinations for eggs on cottonwood, poplar, 
and ash trees show that this insect will be quite injurious again in sev- 
eral towns in northern Colorado. The egg masses are much less numerous 
in the localities where a thorough spraying was done last year. 
SPRING CANKER WORM ( Paleacrita vernata Peck) 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (April 2l): Adults moved up during the forepart 
of April. 
Kansas.. H. R. Bryson (April 23): P. vernata has been especially abundant in 
the State and reports from the Arkansas River Valley indicate a great 
abundance in orchards where sanitary measures have not been applied. 
JAPANESE SCALE ( Leucasms japonica Ckll.) 
New York. E. P. Pelt (April 23): The Japanese scale has apparently suffered 
a heavy mortality. This is particularly evident at Freeport, L. I. 
CYPRESS 
A SAWFLY (Tenthredinidae) 
California. R. E. Campbell (April 24): Since April 2 we have received 10 
calls regarding sawfly larvae (species undetermined) on cypress, both 
hedges and trees, from Alhambra. Although the larvae are fairly abundant 
and apparently widespread, no great damage has been observed. 
ELM 
ELM LEAF BEETLE ( Galerucella xanthomelaena Schr.) 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (April 20): The early season has brought this 
insect out in Yakima and in many cases elm trees are almost defoliated. 
ELM SCURFY SCALE ( Chionasms americana Johns.) 
Connecticut and New York. E. P. Felt (April 23): Eggs have wintered in ex- 
cellent condition at Stamford, Conn., and at Great Neck, L. I. 
JUNIPER AND CEDAR 
CEDAR BARK BEETLE ( Phloeo sinus dentatus Say)

twigs rather seriously in the vicinity of Richmond. 
JUNIPER WEBWORM ( Dichomeris marginellus Fab . ) 
Connecticut. M. P. Zappe (April) j There is a heavy infestation on Juniperus
