The writer is greatly indebted to Mr. L. O. Howard and his assist- 

 ants, Messrs. Marlatt and Pergande; also Professors Bogue, Coole3% 

 and King, all of whom took part in the study and identification of the 

 Coccidse recorded in this paper. 



In discussing this paper Mr. Fernald stated that he deemed it worthy 

 of mention that D!asjj(s a/nyc/dali has now been reported from five 

 places in Massachusetts, all near Boston, all upon trees used for shrub- 

 ber}- or ornamental trees of various kinds, and that in each case it has 

 been traced to plants bought of a nursery importing direct from Japan. 

 It does not seem to spread rapidly from tree to tree or plant to plant, 

 but it is nevertheless very efiectual in crushing out the life of the plant 

 it is on, and has survived ver}' severe weather. 



Mr. Kirkland said there was no doubt about the nursery in question, 

 as he had been there once or twice and had seen shipments just un- 

 packed from Japan which were infested with D. amyijrlall. 



Adjourned until 9 a. m.. June 23.
