 Also No. 21 (in part), on Eranthemum variegatuin, Port-of- 

 Spain (Urich). 



7. Lecaniuni oleve, Bernard. 



On Guava, St. Anns (Urich). New to Trinidad, but a well 

 known pest in the U. S. and elsewhere. 

 21. (in part). Orthezia insignis, Douglas. 



On Erantheiniua variegatum, Port-of-Spain (Urich). 

 Now first definitely recorded from Trinidad, but is probably 

 the same as Orthezia sp. incert. previously recorded. It is 

 also found in Demerara, Jamaica and Mexico.

Anns (Urich). New to Trinidad ; previously known 

 in Demerara, Jamaica, Barbados, and St. Kitts.

20. Pinnaspis pandani, Comst. On palms, St. Anns (Urich). 

 Most of these were typical, but I found several examples 

 of a new form albus, which has the scale white. This 

 form has considerable general resemblance to Chionaspis 

 minor, for which it might be mistaken if occurring 

 alone. Intermediate examples were not observed.

 just introduced into Trinidad an effort should be made 

 to stamp it out,
