The San Jose scale, W. .). Pantox < Ontario Agr. Col. and Expt. Farm Bui. 106, pp. 

 8-7, fig. 1). — A popular article on the San Jose scale, its life history, injuries, distri- 

 bution, etc. The various remedies in use are briefly considered. 



The San Jose scale in Oklahoma, E. E. Bogue (Oklahoma Sta. Bui. 34, pp. 8, 

 figs. .7). — The San Jose scale is reported as having - invaded the Territory , and this 

 bulletin is a brief popular account of it and its life history. The source of intro- 

 duction seems at present to be from Texas. 



As remedies salt, sulphur, and lime solution were employed with success. It is 

 thought that in Oklahoma it would be best for every man to be a law to himself 

 rather than depend upon restrictive legislation. 



The importation of the San Jose scale ( Aspidiotus perniciosus) from Japan, 

 F. M. WEBSTER (Canad. lint., 30 {1898), Xo. 7, pp. 169-172).— It is noted that in April, 

 1898, the author found Aspidiotus perniciosus and Diplosus amygdali on Japanese white 

 flowering cherry trees which were received directly from Japan during the winter 

 of 1896-97. The isolation of the trees, although they had been growing in this 

 country for a year, is thought sufficient proof that the scales came from Japan. 

 Another lot of trees which had never been removed from the storehouse in which they 

 were placed when they came from Japan were examined and found infested with the 

 pernicious scale. The author believes with T. D. A. Cockerell that the scale is a 

 native of Japan, and explains the fact that it is not as injurious and numerous there 

 by the probable existence and influence of natural enemies, which he suggests 

 might be brought to this country. 



The San Jose scale in Massachusetts, A. H. Kirkland | Massachusetts Crop Rpt., 

 June, 1898, pp. 24--18, figs. 3). — A popular summary of recent literature on and a dis- 

 cussion of this insect as found in Massachusetts. To a discussion of the usual ques- 

 tions, one on the nursery question is added. The natural laws of trade are thought 

 more potent than those framed by legislatures. There is added beside very good 

 advice to nurserymen and purchasers. 



San Jose scale {Pennsylvania Dipt. Agr. Bui. 34, pp. 45-49). — Notes are given on 

 Rolfs' and Smith's work with the San Jose scale. 



Erratum. — The statement on page L'71 of the preceding number of the Record, to 

 the effect that the appearance of the San Jose scale in Iowa was noted, is erroneous. 

 The authors state instead that "no occurrences have as yet been detected."
