Dotlontvn is a large genus of trees and shrubs found in Australia for 

 the most jtart. />. bursarifoiia, F. ]Mueller, supi^orts J'nlrinaria dodomviv, 

 Maskell. The bladder nut, Staphylea, is given by Comstock as a food 

 plant of AtijiidiotHfi (iitcijln.s, l*utnam, and Mytih(S2>is 2)omorum, Bouche. 

 This shrub, i)laced both by Bentham and Hooker and (Iray in Sapin 

 dacea', appears in the recent check list of the Botanical Club under a 

 distinct order, Staphyleacea'. At the same time the maples are sepa- 

 rated under Aceraceo', and the horse clicstnuts under Hippocastamicea', 

 doubtless following Engler and Prautl, which i have not had an oppor- 

 tunity to consult. 



ANACARDIACE^E. 



A large order of trees and slirubs. Rhus sueccdmiea produces EH- 

 cents pc-la. Mundt reports Pulvinaria innumcrahilis, liathvon, from 

 Rhus ioxicodendron (or radicans); Kiley cites the same insect from 

 sumac, Coquillett cites Lccaniuni olecv, Bernard, and L. hesperidum^ 

 Linna-us, from /i'/(//.v iiifcgrifolia in ('alifornia. 



The mastic tree, ristavia lentisvus, Linna-us, of the Mediterranean 

 region, supports Aspidiotus lentisci, Signoret. The mango, Mangifcra 

 indira, Linnams, is a native of the oriental region, but is now abun- 

 dant in the western tropics. In the east it is infested by Levaniiun 

 mcmgifera', Green, and Tachardia lacca, Kerr; in the Sandwich Is- 

 lands, according to IMaskell, by Aspidiotus loiKjixpina, Morgan. At 

 Brisbane, Australia, again on Maskell's authority, there is found upon 

 it Ceroplastes riibens, Maskell. In the West Indies, it is a host of Bac- 

 tyJopins lo7i{/ifiJis, Comstock (more correctly longispimis). Ceroplastes 

 Jioridensis, Comstock, Lecanium mangiferd', Green, L. oha; Bernard, L.
