}2 The Saa Jose Scale in Japan. 



18. Fukui-ken. 



Two localities, Fukui city and Tsuruga, were foaiid infested by the 

 scale, the stock having been obtained from Tokyo and Ii\eda about 10 years 

 ago.

The scale has been observed in a few places, the infested trees being 

 recently introduced. In the village Kuise-muia the writer has found many 

 small pear orchards badly infested by the scale and Parlatoria, the new 

 varieties of domestic and foreign pears having been introduced from Naka- 

 jima in Aichi-ken 1.888. The writer has said in an article* " In this region 

 the scale has been known for more than 30 years under the name of 

 Ki-abura " ; an explanation of this statement is needed here, for otherwise 

 there will be, he believes, some misunderstanding in regard to Ki-abura. He 

 visited that locahty i.e. Kuise-mura last Summer again for the observation of 

 the scale and found that the Ki-abura means not only the San Jose Scale, but 

 also other scales and insects which are parasitic to the tree ; in order to 

 prove the matter he tested it with the aid of an experienced old man, whom 

 he requested to point out the Kiabura ; so he showed the writer Parlatoria 

 in one orchard, the San Jose Scale in another and Pulvinaiia at different 

 places. Thus Ki-abura includes several pests besides the San Jose Scale.

The scale has been located at Nagoya city and Nakajima, the latter 

 being one of famous nurseries for more than a century ; the Nakajima 

 nursery introduced foreign varieties of apple, pear and peach from Tokyo, 

 Angio and Ikeda etc. rather recently for propagation and sale. 



33. Shiga-ken. 



The scale has been recognized in two places, Maibara and Otsu ; in the 

 agricultural experiment station of this Ken near Otsu, the writer noticed the
