W. 1!. Britton (March 24): Throughout the locality of New Haven, 
Greenwich siid Stamford, egg cltisters are common, but especially 
so in Fairfield County. 
W. P. Flint (March 11 ): Egg masses of this insect are very abund- 
ant in the southern Illinois orchard section. A number of egg 
masses have been carried through in the greenhouse, and hatched 
nearly 100 per cant. No parasites wero obtained. 
Oliver I. Snapp ar.d assistants (March 26): Unusually abundant. 
Some wild cherry trees completely defoliated at Fort Valley, also 
observed on persimmon. 
FALL CANXSRWOEM (Als o phi la pome tar ia Harris) 
W. E. Britton (March 24): At New Haven egg3 are very abundant 
below sticky bands on banded trees on station grounds. Some de- 
foliation last year in New Haven, Greenwich and Stamford. 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Bha^pletis porno nel la Walsh) 
M. H. Swenk (October, Novanber, and December, 1924): The apple 
maggot has, as yet, been found doing injury in Nebraska only very 
infrequently. In Dec ar.be r specimens of winter apples showing the 
characteristic work of this pest were examined, the apples having 
been grown in Burt County. 
FRUIT THEE SEFJCA (Sirica sp.) 
F. L. Thomas (March 26): Specimens received from Karnes City, 
and requests for information re^rdir. g possible injury. 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst. ) 
H. A. Gossard (March 21 ) : The winter mortality of the Sen Jose 
3cale seems to have been unusually high in Ohio this season. 
Counts made in March indicate that in some instances only about 
20 per cent of the scales have survived the winter. However, 
in an orchard in the central part of the State, about 40 per cent 
survived. 
B. A. Porter (March 31 ) : While much reduced in nvjrhors from pre- 
vious seasons, the scale is present in sufficient numbers to bo 
still an important problem. The abnormally long period of hot 
weather in early fall allowed the light infestation which had es- 
caped the previous dormant treatment to make a tremendous increase 
in numbers. Winter mortality has been the highest that it has 
been for several years. A few counts are as follows:
