J22 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



list I have in general followed the excellent catalogue prepared by Mrs. 

 M. E. Fernald, and published as a special bulletin of the Hatch Experi- 

 ment Station of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. 



Dr. W. E. Britton, of the Connecticut Station, who has paid much 

 attention to the scale insects in this section of the country, and who has 

 especially collected the species found in greehouses and on ornamental 

 plants, has been good enough to supply me with a series of notes indi- 

 cating those species which from his experience he feels certain will occur 

 in New Jersey. Quite a number of these species are confined to green- 

 house plants and are unable to maintain themselves outdoors, hence, 

 strictly speaking, they are not a part of the New Jersey fauna. They 

 have been included, however, as matter of information and to call atten- 

 tion to them.
