BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE 35 
given intensive treatment a year ago are in excellent condition at 
this time insofar as infestation is concerned. The infestation in the 
Connecticut River Valley towns in the southern half of Vermont 
has persisted and only a small amount of work has been done there 
since the hurricane of 1938. Large areas in the towns of Putney. 
Westminster, Rockingham, and Springfield were severely defoliated 
during the summer of 1940. 
Examination of areas in Connecticut and Vermont where severe 
defoliation occurred a year or two ago shows considerable mortality 
of oaks, white pine, and hemlock. 
Table 5 gives a numerical summary of scouting and treating done 
by the Bureau during the year.
