Extract

The importance of small mammals as natural control factors for forest insect pests has been indicated by several investigators, particularly by Hewitt (8) and Graham (5) with respect to the larch sawfly, Pristiphora erichsoni Htg. and by Sim (9) with respect to the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newm.
