278 Fiftieth Report on the State Museum 



Staten Island, in millions, and also in abundance at Bay Ridge, 

 Flushing, and Queens, on Long Island. 1 he occurrence of the 

 brood along the Hudson may be briefly indicated by the following 

 notes: New York county, abundant in certain localities in Woodlawn 

 cemetery ; ^^'estchester county, in great numbers north to Croton ; 

 Rockland county, abundant at Palisades-on-the-Hudson, millions at 

 Nyack; Orange county, millions at Highland Falls, West Point, Corn- 

 wall-on-Hudson, New Windsor, Newburg, and Middletown ; Dutchess 

 county, very abundant at Beekman, Poughkeepsie, Johnsville, Bangall, 

 Annandale, Rhinebeck, Rock City, Redhook, Pine Plains, and Barrytown; 

 Ulster county, abundant at Wallkill, millions at Marlboro, and large 

 numbers at Milton, some at New Paltz, a few at Saugerties, abundant at 

 Quarryville; Columbia county, very abundant at Clermont, and Claver- 

 ack, millions at Hillsdale, reported from Livingston and Stuyvesant ; 

 Greene county, many at Catskill, very abundant at Athensand New Balti- 

 more ; Rensselaer county, abundant at Bath-on-Hudson ; Albany county, 

 swarms at New Scotland, many found at Voorheesville, large numbers, 

 at Bethlehem Center, some at Kenwood, abundant near Clarksville, and 

 in the Albany Rural cemetery at Menands. 



It will be seen from the above given data that the Cicada was quite 

 numerous in localities near the river up to Putnam county. In Orange 

 county they were reported very numerous at Middletown, twenty miles 

 back from the river, and also at several places nearer the Hudson, show- 

 ing that this is one of the strongholds of this brood. Tliere was no report 

 from Putnam county and they were probably not abundant there. The 

 northern portion of Dutchess county is another stronghold of the brood, 

 as they were found in numbers extending back nearly fifteen miles from 

 the river. In the southern portion of Ulster county the Cicadas were in 

 large numbers at Wallkill, ten miles from the Hudson, and at other 

 places nearer the stream. The insect was found in force in the southern 

 portion of Columbia county, at Hillsdale at a point about ten miles from 

 the Hudson. In Greene county it was not observed far from the river. 

 It was abundant on the Forbes Manor grounds at Bath-on-Hudson 

 in Rensselaer county, and in Albany county it occurred in a number of 

 places, but plentifully in only a k\v. So far as known it was not seen 

 north of Troy.* 



In New England it was reported from localities in the vicinity of New 

 Haven, Southington, New Britam, Farmington and Winsted, Connecticut, 

 thus extending its range north nearly across the State to the Massa- 

 chusetts line. 



It doubtless occurred north of this locality but no account of its presence was received.
