Hoplocampa Testudinea

The European apple sawfly, Hoplocampa testudinea (Klug), is a pest of apple, Malus pumila Bork. (Rosaceae), in orchards. Introduced from Europe onto Long Island, New York, in 1939, it gradually invaded the New England states (Pyenson 1943). Downes and Andison (1942) also reported the apple sawfly on Vancouver Island in 1940. In 1979, H. testudinea was discovered for the first time in southern Quebec (Paradis 1980), after which it spread throughout the apple-growing areas of this province (Vincent and Mailloux 1988). There are no published records on any natural enemies of H. testudinea in North America.

Hops, the cone of a climbing plant by the same name, are a key ingredient in beer. Brewers use hops to impart flavors and aroma in their malted concoctions, and they value the ingredient’s preservative properties. This chapter explains the global origins and botanical characteristics of the common hop, Humulus lupulus l., used in brewing. It then describes how brewing, and hop agriculture along with it, spread from Europe to temperate regions across the world. Hop growing reached North America along with the early English colonies and fared quite well. By 1800, New York and New England emerged as producers for the global economy.

Quantitative Assessments

The core of this book, offering qualitative and quantitative assessments of the migratory, breeding, wintering, and resident avifauna of the Northwest Bronx, New York City back to 1872. The present and historical statuses of 301 study area species and another 70 potential species are described in detail for the Bronx, for New York City, for Long Island, and for Westchester and Rockland Cos. for the first time since 1964. Study area winter population changes are amplified by comparison to their numbers on 90 annual Bronx-Westchester Christmas Bird Counts from 1924. Extended discussion of pertinent identification, ecological, taxonomic, and distributional issues complements the quantitative distribution and occurrence data and update all 371 species to 2016.

Having resided for some years past on Long Island, the terminal moraine of the Great American continental glacier, and having given considerable attention to the drift phenomena, I am convinced that no oscillation of the continent has taken place subsequent to the Glacial period; and that the river kames, with their assorted gravel, etc., can be accounted for, without resorting to any such doubtful interpretations. I am aware that the presence of shells in the Boulder-clay argues in its favour; but that shells become mixed with the drift while the glacier is in motion is evident from what Prof. Geikie saw in Scandinavia. I will now try in a brief way to give your readers the result of my observations; and, though the sketch may be somewhat crude and imperfect, it may serve to throw a little light on this difficult problem.

Island Sound

One day at Ithaca I had screwed my courage to the sticking point, hopped on my Honda scooter, scooted over to the Ithaca airport, and joined the East Hill Flying Club, an organization that owned a Piper Cub and a Tri-Pacer, and I learned how to fly. I had taken a few lessons at the age of fourteen, but quit when we began to do stalls and my stomach had dropped faster than the plane. Now I found that although I was still scared, I could handle it, and I progressed quickly. Probably the single most terrifying, exhilarating moment in my life was my first solo. I hadn’t yet earned my private pilot’s license, but I was able to fly by myself and was allowed, even encouraged, to take short crosscountry trips. For this—and for me—Ithaca was ideally suited. The Tri-Pacer had a four-hour range at 120 knots cruising speed, and Ithaca was well within flying range of Washington, New England, New York—and Brookhaven. I took off and was soon approaching Long Island Sound, and having second thoughts. Whenever I flew out of sight of the Ithaca airport I not only continually looked around the skies to be sure there were no other planes anywhere near me, I also kept my eyes on the ground, picking out level places where I could put the plane down if the motor in front of me ever quit. Now, approaching the Sound, it looked vast and never-ending, with Long Island nothing but a dim, dark line on the horizon. If the engine quit over that water, if I went down … I turned around, was ashamed of myself, turned back again, turned around again, took a deep breath and headed out over that endless expanse of water. Ten minutes later I was approaching Long Island. I skimmed over Port Jefferson, found the little airport that served the lab, and set her down smoothly. A cab took me to Brookhaven, I said hello to everyone, found Joe Zähringer’s notebooks, and was amazed.

Abstract Saddled prominent has caused severe defoliation in eastern North America at 10-13 year intervals since 1907. Outbreaks consisted of simultaneous infestations in physiographically separated New England mountain systems: the Taconic, Berkshire, Green, and White Mountains. In more extensive outbreaks, concurrent infestations occurred within a 2-3 year period in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Quebec, the Canadian Maritimes, Michigan, and Wisconsin. However, outbreaks were most frequent and persistent in New England, where defoliation first appeared on ridges or upper slopes, and American beech and sugar maple composed at least 60% of the forest. In subsequent years, defoliation persisted in these epicenters (outbreak foci) and spread to stands at lower elevations. General population collapse usually occurred during the third or fourth summer following initial defoliation. Based solely on the historical pattern of infestations, outbreaks are predictable if at all, in the Green and White Mountains in New England. North. J. Appl. For. 5:88-91, June 1988.

The adventurers who entered Connecticut’s Western Lands in 1730 I began ironmaking more than a hundred years after colonists first exploited the ore and fuel resources of British North America. The early colonists who set about making iron for export met with ill fortune: in 1621 Indians massacred the artisans who had just completed a furnace and forge at Falling Creek, Virginia. Scarce capital, inadequate skills, and poor transatlantic communication bankrupted the proprietors of the Saugus, Massachusetts, and New Haven, Connecticut, ironworks by 1675. When King George I got Parliament to restrain trade between England and Sweden in 1717, British manufacturers, cut off from their supplies of Scandinavian iron, began investing in American forges and furnaces. Conclusion of the seventeenth-century Indian wars had left large areas rich in timber and ore along the east coast safe for industry. New immigrants, primarily from Britain and Germany, brought their metallurgical skills to America, and colonists supported by British investors built ironworks first in Maryland and then in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey, to produce metal for the export market. Americans in the Middle Atlantic colonies made enough iron by 1750 to provoke British regulation of their trade. The colonists made themselves the world’s third-largest iron producers by 1775 and, despite the predominance of agriculture, had firmly established industry in British North America. New Englanders lagged behind the Middle Atlantic colonists in ironmaking. Artisans from the failed Saugus works in Massachusetts slowly reestablished smelting on a small scale and by 1730 were building new works in the southeastern part of their colony. In New York, Robert Livingston had by 1685 gained control of an enormous manor adjacent to northwestern Connecticut. In 1730 he wanted to add iron to his manor’s products so that he could ship metal down the Hudson River to colonial and overseas customers. However, neither Livingston nor the Massachusetts ironmakers had anything like the high-grade ore resources discovered by the adventurers in Connecticut’s Western Lands. Fifty-two years after English colonists established themselves in Connecticut, James II sent Edmund Andros to British North America to set up a unified government over the New England colonies.
