only a few of the mature bugs remained among the curled and torn 
leaves on which they had developed. Occasionally throughout the sum - 
mer a specimen would be met with, as often on the foliage of any other 
tree as on maple, but there was no second brood. This species, unlike 
Capsus oblineatus , is never to my knowledge found on flowers. It prob- 
ably secretes itself early in the season and becomes dormant until the 
following spring. 
The only remedial applications experimented with were Pyrethrum 
powder and air-slacked lime, both of which were measurably effective, 
judging by the small scale on which they were tried.
