KEPOKT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 247 



A large number of letters have been received in answer to this circu- 

 lar, and our knowledge as to the exact distribution of these two broods 

 has thereby been greatly increased. It is unnecessary to give this in- 

 formation in detail here, and we therefore merely summarize the facts in 

 the following enumeration of localities, the same order of States being 

 retained. Where not otherwise stated the Cicada appeared in all coun- 

 ties mentioned, and those which are additional to previous records are 

 at once seen by comparison with the above circular list. It may be well 

 here to state that the previous simultaneous appearance of these two 

 broods was in 1G61, and that they will not concur again until the year 

 210G.

"The occnrrenco of Brood VII in Phillips County, Kansas^ was based upon Dr. 

 Smith's authority, whose unpublished work on the Periodical Cicada, has, until lately, 

 been accessible to me only in a copy, which I owed to the kindness of Dr. J. G. Morris. 

 An inspection of Dr. Smith's original manuscript made during the past summer, 

 through the courtesy of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Gavet, revealed the fact that 

 he had written "Phillips County, Arkansas." Thus the State of Kansas is to bo 

 stricken from the list of States known to be occupied by Brood VII and Phillips 

 County to be added to the localities in Arkansas.
