is evidenced by the innumerable plants, shrubs, and trees upon 

 which it is known to feed. This is one of the earliest species to 

 make its appearance in the spring. During 1915 there were at 

 least six generations for the latitude of southern Illinois. The 

 author has for some time suspected this species of being an im- 

 portant factor in the spread and dissemination of the alfalfa yellow 

 leaf spot, Pseudopeziza medicaginis , and the brown spot, Coleto- 

 trichum trifolium; and in this regard possibly Agallia sangiiinolenta 

 plays a part. The adults exhibit a strong habit of flight, especially 

 at night. 



Among other Jassoidea which were common during the year, 

 the following may be listed: 



Pediopsis viridis Fitch. 



Agallia constricta Say. 



Cicadula 6-notata Fall. 



Deltocephalus inimiciis Say. 



Deltocephahis nigrofrons Forbes. 



Athysamis exitiosus Uhl. 



Athysanus hicolor Van D. 



Platymetopius frontalis Van D. 



Eiitettix seminiida Say. . 



Typhlocyba comes Say.

 with the degree of master of arts. After taking the further degree 

 of bachelor of science in Zoology, he took up advanced ento- 

 mological work under Prof. Maxwell Lefroy, Professor of Ento- 

 mology in the Imperial College of Science, London, and continued 

 his entomological research work as an Honorary Research Fellow 

 in the University of Manchester in 1912, where he took the degree 

 of master of science (M.Sc). He was appointed by the English 

 Board of Agriculture and Fisheries to a Government Scholarship, 

 and continued his investigations in England and in the United 

 States. In 1914 he spent a year conducting practical entomological
