winged termites (R. flavipes Kol.) were received for identification 
and l6 infested "buildings inspected during the past month. A random 
sample survey of the State made during the winter showed that about 
25 percent of all "buildings inspected were infested, and about 30 
percent of all wooden buildings showed the presence of termites. 
The buildings were of varying age and construction.

identified termites swarming into the' interior of houses at Albany, 
Schenectady, and Mount Vernon.'

coming in from scattered localities throughout most of' the State.

at Hockessin examined; termites present. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (April 2U) • Swarming of termites did not. occur until

winter temperatures, along with many other insects.
