Packard has recorded this species as injuring a wounded elm tree at Salem Mass., and Dr Hagen cites an instance where it attacked living maple trees. He states that three trees more than 60 feet high and 2 feet in diameter and apparently in good condition, except for a splitting of the bark in some places, were infested. On removing portions of the bark, living white ants were found and proved to belong to this species. Observatio

There were no old rotten stumps near by, except on some of the adjacent estates. The infested trees were remarkable for their abnormally small leaves and an examination showed that the bark in the vicinity of the gang- way had been extensively bored by these miners. The general facts con- cerning the life history of this insect and the different forms the species assumes are so well known that detailed descriptions of them in this connection seem hardly ^=young of winged female; t:-=worke U.
