Scale-insects, pp. 802-811. Add: 
Mr. Geo. A. Bishop, has recently (early in Jan.) sent a number of 
additional scale-insects, still living. Some of them are accompanied 
by the active young larvee, showing that they breed at this season. 
Several are additions to the fauna. They have been identified by 
Mr, C. L. Marlatt, as follows: 
Dactylopius, sp. On the bases of the leaves of Pine-apple. 
Dactylopius, sp. 
On roots of Panicum, forming tufts of a white, downy secretion. 
Another unknown coccid, forming similar white tufts, occurred on 
the joints of the stem of one of the reed-grasses (Arundinacez. ) 
Orthezia insignis Douglas. See above, p. 806.
