338 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Oct., 'l6 



II and X are the most important in point of numbers and are 

 the best recorded. Brood VI is rather unimportant in spite of 

 its somewhat extended distribution and brood VIII with a 

 single record in New Jersey represents only scattered indi- 

 viduals. Brood XIV appears to be so considerably reduced 

 in numbers that it amounts to almost nothing in New Jersey 

 and the same can be said of brood XV, which, according to 

 Marlatt, consists of retarded eastern colonies of brood XIV. 

 Broods XIV and XV may never be reported from New Jersey 

 in the future. 



On the accompanying maps, the distribution is by counties 

 only, these records having been obtained from Marlatt's Bull. 

 71 and the New Jersey reports. A more detailed distribution 

 will be found below. In a few cases, some of the marked 

 counties failed of confirmation in recent years. This may 

 mean that the cicada was absent or that no reports of its oc- 

 currence were received. It was thought best however to 

 record all counties where the insects appeared, even though 

 some indicate old records, so that persons interested will know 

 just where to look for them when due and so that accurate 

 information can be obtained in the future as to whether the 

 insects have been actually eliminated or simply overlooked. 

 By consulting the following detailed account the exact locality 

 can be ascertained.
