Growth data collected on three permanent one-acre sample plots, established in a mixedwood stand in northwestern New Brunswick in 1947 and remeasured in 1956, indicate (1) growth capacity of the site may be as high as 79 cubic feet per acre per year, (2) birch trees weakened by dieback do not provide much competition to softwoods and (3) because of the mortality of birch attributed to birch dieback, the stand is evolving from a mature mixedwood towards an irregularly-aged softwood stand.

The major concern of this work is a study of the external morphology of larvae of the Canadian species of Deilinea Hübner: D. borealis Hulst, D. erythemaria Guenée, D. exanthemata bryantaria Taylor, and D. variolaria Guenée. Observations on the life history and habits of two of these have been included.The field work was carried out in 1955 and 1956 at the Kananaskis Forest Experiment Station, Seebe, Alberta. This station is on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains (Latitude 51°) and the observations were made at an altitude of about 4,500 feet.
