  The 
  "big 
  bed-bug" 
  of 
  the 
  Southern 
  States. 
  Has 
  

   not 
  been 
  actually 
  taken 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know, 
  but 
  has 
  oc- 
  

   curred 
  in 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  its 
  presence 
  in 
  the 
  pine 
  barrens 
  may 
  be 
  

   expected.

  This 
  and 
  the 
  next 
  species 
  made 
  a 
  

   temporary 
  stir 
  in 
  1899 
  as 
  "kissing 
  bugs," 
  because 
  of 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  re- 
  

   ported 
  cases 
  where 
  "bites" 
  had 
  caused 
  swellings 
  of 
  the 
  lips,. 
  These 
  

   species 
  bite 
  very 
  readily, 
  and 
  if, 
  in 
  flight, 
  they 
  strike 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  an 
  

   individual, 
  they 
  are 
  very 
  apt 
  to 
  puncture 
  promptly.
