J. A. Millar, Melrose Highlands, Mass., reports that 1,000 puparia 
of Compsilura concinnata were shipped to R. W. E. Tucker, Barbados, 
B. W. I., for colonization against armyworms and cutworms; and the same 
number to C. F. Doucette, Sumner, Wash., and A. B. Baird, Belleville, 
Ont., for colonization in infestations of the satin moth (Stilpnotia

M. F. Sellers, Budapest, Hungary, makes the following report on 
gipsy moth parasites: "From a total of 400,000 gipsy moth larvae col- 
lected at Oszro, Hungary, about 98,000 tachinid puparia, mostly Fhorocera 
agilis R. D., were obtained and sent to America. A total of 250,000 
gipsy moth larvae, collected at Oberpullendorf, Austria, gave about 
60,000 tachinid puparia. These were sent to America. P. agilis was the 
predcminant species," 
Mr. Sellers also reports that from a total of $31,000 gipsy 
moth larvae collected at Galgamacsa, Hungary, about 10,000 tachinid pu-— 
parie, chiefly Sturmia inconspicua, were secured, and that "From 6,000 
satin moth larvae collected at Lagymanos (Budapest), Hungary, the follow— 
ing parasites were reared: 2,168 Meteorus sp., 12-Rogas unicolor Wesmael, 
ze Apanteles solitarius Ratz., 719 Tachina larvarum L., 78 Pales pavida 
Meig., and 2 Carcelia gnava Meig." 
T. T. Terrell, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, reports that on July 9 and 
10 an aerial survey was made of the forested areas of the Yellowstone Na— 
tional Park. The purpose of this reconnaissance was to determine the ex— 
tent of the outbreak of the mountain pine beetle in the scenic lodgepole 
pine forests of that region. Mr. Terrell says, "It was found that the 
infestation within the Park is far more widespread than had been previous— 
ly anticipated and that more intensive surveys of the infested areas will 
be necessary. * * * Glick insect traps were carried for the purpose of 
ascertaining what insects could be coll=zcted at different elevations 
above th2 ground."
