(Armygdalus) persica and Robinia pseudacacia, and on Spircea and 

 Lonicera sp. at Smolond, Sweden ; coll. Mr. Sven Lampa. In 1851, 

 Bouche described a scale from grapevines ; his description, given to me 

 by Prof. Cockerel], is as follows : '' $ kahforming in alten aber halbkuglig 

 werden denkelbraum. Die Eier ohne wallige Euhiillung Lang 3 Lnnen an 

 Winstocke." The scale received from Dr. Fletcher on Spircea salicfolia. 

 I cannot separate it from those received from Germany. Bouche's 

 specimens, however, seem to have been a little larger than those before 

 me ; but the slight difference in their size counts for little in this case. 

 There is no doubt that this is the so-called "vine-scale" of Germany. 

 Are these scales introduced, or are they indigenous to both Europe and 

 North America ? 



Chionaspis comi, Cooley, 1899. (Native.) Found on dogwood 

 (Cormts stolonifera), April 5, 1899, m a shallow, shrubby swamp at 

 London, Ont.; coll. Dearness. This was described from Mass. in 1899, 

 found at Reading on Cornus paniculata and C. alternifolia. 

 Notes on Previously Recorded Species. 



The following notes are of interest, giving as they do several new 

 food-plants and geographical range : 



Eriopcltis festucce, Fonsc. Sent by Dr. Fletcher; found in the woods 

 on Cares pedunculate, at Ottawa. This is a new locality and food-plant. 



Pulvinaria occidentalism Ckll. This was found by Dr. Mackay, June 

 14, 1 90 1, on gooseberry bushes at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The plants 

 were kept covered with glass jars until the young leaves began to appear. 

 It was under these conditions when the scales were observed. A new 

 locality. 



Eulecanium quercitrouis, Fitch. Mr. John Dearness sent these on 

 twigs of Ulmus sp., May 28, 1891, from London, Ont. This is a new 

 food-plant and new locality for the species in Canada, but is a common 

 food-plant for the species in the U. S.

Concerning Larval Descriptions. 

 The July Can. Ent. (Vol. XXXIII., p. 186) contains a full and valu- 

 able account of the larva of Ahophila potuetaria, by W. E. Hinds. The 

 numbering of the setse in the figure on page 186 is unfortunately stated to
