Spruce gall aphid (C h e r m e s a b i e t i s Linn.). This intro- duced, widely distributed species has been the cause of an unusual number of complaints in New York State. Mr John Herliky, arboriculturist of Brooklyn, writing under the date of June 22(1 stated that many Norway spruce trees throughout Prospect park, and in fact in different parts of that section of the State, have been. Fig. 17 Spruce gall aphid, normal type of gall. (Original) dying of late. Specimens were submitted for examination and were found to contain a few of the characteristic galls of this in- sect and, in addition, an apparently undescribed injury. Numerous subglobular, aborted buds were found here and there at the base of the branches or at the base of new growth and on investigation were found to contain numerous small, light brown aphids. It is probable that these aphids entered the developing buds the preced- ing year and, on account of their abundance, prevented the usual growth and the development of the normal type of gall. An ex- amination, at this time, of spruces in Albany showed that these trees likewise, in addition to the typical galls produced by this aphid, bore the subglobular dead buds inhabited by numerous aphids de- scribed above. An examination of infested trees in Albany the latter part of September showed that the dead buds described.
