(9) Chrysanthemum (Compositse). — lu Dr. Strachan's garden in Kingston I found 

 the ordinary cultivated species very badly infested by Lecanium hemisphoBrieum, and 

 less severely by Orihesia insignis, Dougl. 



(10) jFicas (Urticaceae). — On a large Ficus tree in the yard of the Museum, Cero- 

 2)lastes Jloridensis is common, with^s^jd. articulatus, A. ficus, and J. per sonatus. A, 

 ficus is on the under side of the leaves, but the other tvs^o species of the genus mainly 

 on the upper. 



(11) Grewiarothii (Tiliaceis). — Leaves from the Parade Garden in June (Da Costa) 

 had a few young Ceroplasies fioridensis on their upper sides. 



(12) Ixora coccinea (RubiaceiB). — Leaves from the Parade Garden in June (Da Costa) 

 had on their vipper sides some very young Ceroplastes, apparently .^oridewsis. Ixora 

 sp. in Dr. Strachan's garden was badly attacked by Lecanium hemisphwricum. 



(13) lamhosamalacceusis (L.) D. C. (Myrtaceaj). — In June Mrs. Swainsou brought 

 me leaves picked in Kingston, on the under sides of which were several Vinsonia 

 stelUfera, and some Lecanium viangiferw, green. 



(14) Musa (Musaceie). — In August I found several Asjrid. articulatus on a leaf in 

 the garden of the Museum. A young banana in the Museum yard, recently planted, 

 soon had on it an adult, or nearly adult, scale of Ceroplastes fioridensis. It was 

 doubtless blown as a larva from an overhanging Ficus. In September the same tree 

 had on it also A. articulatus, A. personatus, and A. ficus, but the two latter species 

 seemed not to thrive. 



(15) Meyenia alba (Acanthaceffi).— A specimeu from the Parade Garden, Jime (Da 

 Costa), had on it a few Lecanium olew Bern. 



(16) Murraya (Aurautiaceaj). — In June Mr. V. B. Taylor brought me a twig of 

 this shrub, obtained in Kingston, with Aspid. articulatus and Alytilaspis citricola 

 (Pack.). Comstock remarks (1883, Report, p. 117) that M. citricola is only found on 

 Citrus trees, and now that an exception to this statement is found it is interesting 

 to note that the plant is of the same natural order. 



(17) Mamjifera indica, L. (Terebiuthaceie.)— («) In June Mrs. Swaiuson brought 

 me leaves of Mango picked in Kingston, on which were several Vinsonia sfellifera, 

 some Aspidiotus personatus, and two small scales of A. articulatus. 



{b) In June I found in Manchester Square, Kingston, leaves of Mango on which 

 were Lecanium olece,L. mangiferce, Ceroplastes (apparently ^ondewsis), Vinsonia, Aspi- 

 diotus personatus, and Aspidiotus n. sp. 



(c) In June Miss Helen Kilburn sent me two green mangoes, from Kingston, much 

 infested by Dactylopius longifilis, Comst. ( $ 's aud young) ; there were also two speci- 

 mens of a flat Aspidiotus, each making a pale patch on the fruit. 



(18) Merium oleander (Apocynaceaj). — Leaves of oleander received from Mr. 

 Rouse in June had on them Aspid. ficus, A. articulatus, and A. personatus. 



(19) Olea hispanica (Oleacete). — On leaves from the Parade Garden, June (Da 

 Costa), were very many Aspid. personatus and a few A. articulatus. 



(20) Persea persea (L.) =gratissima, G. (Laurineae). — In June Mrs. Swainson 

 brought me a leaf picked in Kingston on which were many Asind. personatus, and 

 one or two A. articulatus. 



(21) Punica granatum L. (Lythracese). — A plant in garden of Museum has ^iewrodes 

 sp. on the under sides of the leaves and above is infested by Aspidiotus personatus, 

 A. articulatus, and A. sp. (scale white, circular or nearly so, exuviae covered, orange 

 brown, first skin nipple-like and shiny ; 9 plump, rounded, orange). There are also 

 a few examples of a small Chionaspis, probably C. minor Mask. 



(22) Portlandia grandiflora, L. (RubiaceiB). — Leaves from the Parade Garden, in 

 June (Da Costa), had on their upper sides specimens of Aspidiotus articulatus. 



(23) Vitis vinifera, L. (Ampelideae). — In September my wife found a specimen of 

 Lecanium olece on a black grape.
