ZEUZEBA PYRINA IN BOSTON.- My friend R. W. Curtis, Assistant Superin- tendent of the Arnold Arboretum, found on the 18th of January, 1909, a full-grown and therefore two years old caterpillar of Zeuzera pyrina Linn. in the trunk of a Quercus palustris Du Doi, which was broken by a storm. He had already made the same discovery one year ago in another tree, but which one he does not remember. Dr. E. P. Felt in his work on Forest Insects (New York State Museum Memoir 8 Vol. I.) does not give Massachusetts as included in the distribution of Z. pyrina. According to verbal information given me several adults have been observed in the vicinity of Boston, Mass., in the past three years, but it has not yet been stated that 2. pyrina has advanced in Massachusetts to a regular brood. The findings made by Mr. Curtis prove that the breeding of the species in the neighbourhood of Boston must have taken place for the first time in 1906, if no earlier record of a brood has been made elsewhere.
