Distribvition and present status of Iho Sau Jose Scale in Japan. 23 



scale on a quince tree about 10 years old, and also on apple trees, which were 

 destroyed at once ; the stock came froui Angio. 



23. Mkje-Jceu. 



The scale was found in two localities, Tsu and Owashi ; the hosts of the 

 scale at Tsu city were orange trees, coming from Itami near Osaka in 1902. 



24. Kyoto-fu. 

 The scale has been found in Kyoto city. 



25. Osalca-fu. 



Osaka city and Ikeda are known to have the scale, the latter is one of 

 famous nurseries in Japan, sending enormous stock of trees to several 

 districts ; the principal part of the stock however which is shipped away is 

 produced in Itami, Hyogo-ken a few miles away to the south. 



20. Nara-Jioi. 



The scale has besn found in two localities. The celebrated Yoshino- 

 mountain has various native cherry trees for many centuries, and indeed is 

 almost covered with them, the so-called Yamazakura. Mr. S. Hori, one of 

 our former entomologists, carefully investigated the scale on the trees, but 

 he failed to find it. 



27. Hi/ogo-Jcen. 



The scale has been found in 6 localities. As already mentioned Itami is 

 a famous nursery district, especially for citrus trees ; a lot of stock has been 

 sent from Itami mainly to the southern parts of the empire. Mr. B. Kubo, 

 one of well known nursery men, said that he was the first introducer of 

 foreign apple, peach and pear from Tokyo in 1882, which trees remained in 

 his yard until a few years ago when Mr. S. Hori visited there for research. 

 The writer was much disappointed the last Summer, because these trees 

 were all removed on account of the scale. 



28. Tottori-ken. 



3 localities were known to be infested by the scale, the infested trees 

 being all recently introduced from Okayama, Shikoku and Hyogo-ken.
