 this Psjllid collected by him on Mt. Tantalus, March 29th. 

 This insect has been collected bnt a few times, first at Opaeula,

 men or two were taken, and always on Xylosma Haivaiiense. 



Hevaliera sp. — Mr. Swezey exhibited specimens of a Psyllid 

 bred from nymphs on Pelea leaves from Mt. Tantalus. The 

 nymphs resembled Aleyrodids, and were not in galls the same 

 as other species of HevaJieva occurring- on Pelea. Instead they 

 were situated in slight depressions on the surface of the leaf. 



Notes on Java Insects. — Mr. Van der Goot spoke some on 

 insect collecting in Java. He exhibited specimens of a queer 

 Coccid which climbs on the backs of ants and is thus trans- 

 ported by them. He referred to the chief agricultural insect 

 pests in Java : scale insects, caterpillars, and white grubs He 

 stated that the leaf hoppers were not injurious to sugar cane, 

 the most important cane pest being the moth borer.
