are in Dutchess and Saratoga counties, N. Y. All the records from 
Bulletin 18 are reproduced below, with the exception of the report 
from Indian Territory, which falls distinctly within the 13-year lines, 
and has been transferred to Brood X XIX. 
This brood is represented by the colony appearing at Tivoli, 
Dutchess County, and Galway, Saratoga County, N. Y., in June, 
1890, as recorded by Prof. J. A. Lintner in his Seventh Report, 
pages 297-301. Mr. Davis records the occurrence of scattering 
individuals the same year on Staten Island. In a letter of June 2, 
1890, Prof. J. B. Smith, New Brunswick, N. J., reports that the

periodical Cicada had been taken by several Newark (Essex County), 
collectors, and had also been observed at Anglesea, Cape May 
County. 
Another record which perhaps applies to this brood is given by 
Mr. I. N. Smith, Scotland Neck, Halifax County, N.C., in letter of 
June 22, 1885. He reports that his ‘‘ first recollection of the locust 
was about the year 1839 or 1840, when the whole of the white-oak 
lands were filled with them. * * * In 1855 or 1856 they appeared 
again, but nothing to compare with the period first stated. The 
locusts were all on the white-oak land and on the Roanoke River and 
not on the pine lands.’’ Assuming the dates 1839 and 1856 to be the 
correct ones, this would throw this swarm of Cicadas into Brood XV.
