 ius, on one shipment azaleas, Belgium ; Peronia sp., on one shipment 

 azaleas, Belgium ; Gracilaria sp., on one shipment azaleas, Belgium ; 

 Acanthia saltatoria Linn., on azaleas from Belgium, Det. Dyar. ; Gra- 

 cilaria azaleae Busck., on azaleas from Belgium, Det. Busck. ; Perip- 

 socus sp., on bay trees from Belgium, Det. Banks ; Apion ulicis For- 

 ster, in seed pods of Ulex europea, from England, Det. Pierce. 



Mr. C. L. Marlatt and Mr. E. R. Sasscer identified most of 

 the scale insects, Mr. Busk the Peronia and Gracilaria sp., and 

 Mr. Walton, Macrosargus cuprarius. Practically all of the 

 insects, with the exception of the Aleyrodes sp., which hap- 

 pens to be new, are more or less distributed in the United 

 States. This, however, is no excuse for allowing them to enter 

 in abundance. The infested plants received during the spring 

 from Japan were destroyed, while the bay trees were cleaned 

 by the consignees before being sold. In most cases the fall 

 infestations were not serious, Coccus hesperidum and Aley- 

 rodes sp. being the most numerous. During the entire year no 

 brown-tail nests or gypsy moth egg masses were noted.
