 Eulecanium (Lecanium) hiluherculatum, Targ., occurring abundantly 

 on hawthorn ; L. cajpreae, L., taken upon Myrica gale and upon 

 evergreen laurel, both of these constituting new food-plants for this 

 species; Saissetia (L.) nigra var. depressa, Targ., in the palm-house at 

 Kew, on Musa and Ficus sp. ; Eulecanium {L.) persicae crudum, 

 subsp. n., on the foliage of Aralia; Coccus (L.) hesperidum, L., var., 

 flourishing on an orange plant raised from seed in the botanical 

 laboratory, Manchester ; L. signiferum, Green, on Polypodium aureum 

 at Kew; L. zebrinum, sp. n., on the branches and young stems of 

 Betula alba (birch) and Populus tremula (aspen), the female being 

 extensively parasitised by two species of Chalcids ; L. transvittatum, 

 sp. n., an extremely scarce species found on Betula alba (birch) ; 

 Lecanopsis longicornis. Green, found in comparative abundance on 

 Carex ovalis ; Parafairmairia gracilis. Green, affecting various species 

 of Carex ; Eriopeltis festucae, Fonsc, on the upper surface of the 

 leaves of Festuca ; Luzulaspis luzulae, Duf., on Carex ovalis and 

 Luzida ; Ceroplastes rusci, L., on the fruit of green figs imported from 

 Italy ; Physokennes abietis, Geoffr., on spruces ; Gossyparia ulmi, 

 Geoifr., on Cornish elm ; Eriococcus devoniensis, Green, on Erica 

 tetralix ; Ripersia halophila, Hardy, on roots of grasses ; Pseudococcus 

 nipae, Mask., abundant in the palm-house at Kew upon Cocos, 

 Kentiopsis and Sabal, where it has probably been estabUshed for some 

 years ; P. walkeri, Newst. ; P. longispinus, Targ., on imported 

 bananas ; P. longispinus var. latipes, nov., on Fuchsia in a green- 

 house and in cactus-houses at Manchester; P. neivsfeadi, sp. n., on 

 Fagus sylvatica (beech) at Camberley, the young larvae migrating in 

 December to the ends of the branches where they hibernate beneath 

 the scales of the leaf-buds, the return migration to the larger branches 

 taking place in June ; Aspidiotus lataniae. Sign., taken on Dracaena, 

 under glass ; Lepidosaphes gloveri, Pack., on Nephrodium sp., under 

 glass at Kew and also often found on the rind of imported oranges ; 

 Kuwania gorodetski, Nassonov, reported from Camberley in 1914, 

 and reappearing in abundance in 1917, its apparent disappearance 

 meantime, possibly being due to an unusually prolonged nymphal 

 period.

This paper, which formed the President's address, reviews a few of
