Figure 18 of the second number of the Journal was intended to be from 

 a photograph of this species as it occurs on the twigs of the orange. By mis- 

 take the cut was replaced by one of the citrus mealy bug on lemon. We now 

 present herewith (Figure 37), the pro])er cut illustrating this interesting spe- 

 cies. 



Ceroplastes ceriferus Anderson. 



Adult Female. — The general exterior appearance (Fig. 38, and 39, A) 

 of this scale reminds one of lumps of dough stuck to the limbs of a plant. The 

 uneven lobes of the large waxy secretion have the yellowish-white color of 

 well-kneaded dough. In diameter the secretion varies from 1 mm. to 1J4 mm., 

 in height from Vi mm. to 1 mm.
