Abstract

Although Cossus centerensis has only recently been discovered, it must have existed for many years in the vicinity of Center, N. Y., its present home. More than twelve years ago, while riding in a Central R. R. coach, I noticed certain species of Poplar, the central shoot of which had perished from causes then unknown; later, while on an Entomological tour near the same place, I found a group of the Populus tremuloides which were similarly affected, as were also many other trees of the same species in the vicinity.
