no original observations, and does not definitely state whether the 
insect is found in Indiana or not; though from the fact that it is 
included under the general head of insects of the year, we may 
infer that it is a common pest. 
In the issue of the “Fruit Growers’ Journal” (Cobden, III) for 
March 11, 1886, Prof. G. H. French, in writing of the condition 
of the orchards about Centralia, notes that in a two year old or¬ 
chard visited “'the leaf-crumpler (Phycita nebulo) seemed to be 
present.”
