Figure 202, page 165, represents the Scurfy Bark-louse, 

 Chionaspis fnrfurns (Chi-o-nas'pis fur'fur-us), a species very

 Pine-leaf Scale, Chionaspis pinifolice (pin-i-fo'li-ae), which 

 occurs on various species of pine and spruce in all parts of 

 the United States where these trees grow; and Figure 213

 (As-pid-i-o'tus au-ran'ti-i), which is very destructive to 

 oranges and lemons.
