SOME PREVIOUS RECORDS OF INJURY. 39 
RECORDS OF THE BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY. 
The records of the Bureau of Entomology made by Prof. F. M. 
Webster and his assistants, namely, Messrs. C. N. and G. G. Ainslie, 
EK. O. G. Kelly, W. J. Phillips, G. I. Reeves, T. D. Urbahns, and 
V. L. Wildermuth, show the occurrence and more or less injury to 
crops in the following localities and for the crops mentioned: 
At Huntsville, Ala., on wheat in the years 1905-6, the record for 
1905 being November 5 ‘‘from a field of young growing wheat,” and 
in this record, out of 222 insects taken 103 were jassids. 
In Indiana Prof. Webster reported jassids on wheat at Lafayette 
in the years 1885-1891, and the records, especially far two of the 
species, will be mentioned farther on in reference to those particular 
species. At Osgood in 1890 he reported jassids as excessively abun- 
dant in fall wheat and that under the impression that they were 
Hessian flies the farmers reported considerable injury. A further 
report from Oxford in 1884 stated that mollipes occurred in oats and 
that in the second internode a cluster of larvee was found. ‘‘Straw 
when grown did not seem to be withered or show any other effects 
except possibly premature ripening; searched assiduously, but found 
no others.” 
In Kansas jassids were reported at Concordia on wheat in 1905 
and at Manhattan in 1907. They were abundant on young volunteer 
wheat. They were reported on September 8, 1908, at Wellington, 
the cast skins on wheat showing the development of the jassids on 
this plant. At Mulvane and at Sedgwick they were reported on 
March 26. 
In Kentucky an infestation was reported at Fulton for 1905. In 
Nebraska they were reported for alfalfa September 1, 1909. 
In New York two species, Dreculacephala mollipes and Athysanus 
exitiosus, were collected from bluegrass November 20, 1909. They 
occurred at the base of the grass. 
In North Carolina jassids were reported as occurring on corn in the 
years 1907 and 1909. The work of D. mollipes, in the latter year 
particularly, will be referred to more in detail under that species. 
In North Dakota they were reported as occurring on grasses at 
Tower City during the years 1905 and 1906. 
In Oklahoma they were reported at Woodward on wheat in 1905, 
at Duncan on oats in 1908, at El Reno on wheat in small numbers in 
1908, at Enid and at Stillwater as very numerous, and at Pawnee 
as occurring on both wheat and oats. 
For Pennsylvania reports of their occurrence are given for Marion 
on bluegrass in 1909. 
In South Carolina they were reported as collected on wheat in 
1909, Mr. George G. Ainslie stating that in a field of wheat near the 
experiment station he found*the grain swarming with one or more
