and reported by one person as very numerous in all parts of the 
county. 
Dutchess county. The insects were very numerous at Red Hook 
though they did not appear to be generally distributed and serious 
in the county. 
Fulton county. June beetles were present in about the usual 
numbers. 
Genesee county. The insects were mostly abundant and probably 
more numerous than during the preceding two seasons. 
Greene county. June beetles were very plentiful near Athens, 
though reports would indicate no unusual numbers. 
Lewis county. The pests were about as numerous as three years 
ago over nearly the entire county, elms, basswood and birch being 
badly injured, maple slightly so. é 
Livingston county. Slight injury to elms was reported, though 
there was no marked abundance of the beetles. 
Oneida county. The insects were reported from several localities, 
though presumably not excessively numerous. 
Ontario county. Practically the same conditions appear to have 
obtained as in Oneida county. 
Orange county. The beetles were reported numerous the middle 
of June. 
Orleans county. The insects were abundant or common though 
not excessively so. 
Oswego county. A comparatively slight infestation was reported. 
Rensselaer county. Partial defoliation of elms, certain oaks and 
white birch was rather generally evident in southern Rensselaer 
county, this being especially marked along the Albany Southern 
and Boston and Albany railroads. The damage was mostly on 
trees adjacent to grasslands. In some instances oaks, hickories 
and ash standing in or near grasslands were almost completely 
stripped. There was less damage along the river and also on the 
eastern border of the county. 
Rockland county. June beetles were variously reported as few 
to abundant. 
Saratoga county. No unusual numbers were observed. 
Schuyler county. June beetles were fairly abundant though not 
excessively numerous. 
Seneca county. The pests were reported as extremely abundant 
over a period of several weeks. 
Steuben county. June beetles were reported abundant, a condition 
probably true of most of the county.
