outliue. The long axis of the slit was parallel to that of the petiole. 

 Evidently the young hoppers had emerged from the egg, but were 

 drowned in the water as soon as they had gotten out. Later, on July 

 26, under similar conditions, I found a dead nymph of the first stage 

 which was only half way out from the egg slit in the petiole, thus 

 making certain that the true egg slits had been found. These egg 

 slits were found in the green twigs, petioles and lower portion of the 

 mid rib of apple leaves. 



Dr. Forbes mentions what he supposed to be the summer eggs of 

 the apple leaf -hopper in slight swellings in the petioles of the leaves.^ 

 It is probable that the egg slits found by Mr. Ainslie and myself are 

 the same as those referred to bv Dr. Forbes.
