so. Fuhicoka-ken. 



When tb3 writer was sent from Stanford University, California to 

 Japan, three locahties were known to be infested ; then two other localities, 

 Kurume and Hikosan were added, the infested plant at the latter being 

 introduced by Mr. N. Takachiho from Tokyo. When the writer published 

 his report* he said " An old native paar tree about 45 years old is standing 

 by itself east of a farmer's house by a small ditch, it is about 12 inches in 

 diameter and very old never pruned ; it is very badly infested by the scale." 

 The writer spent some time in collecting scale insects in the vicinity of 

 Kokura city and the village Kato-mura in the latter part of August 1902, 

 and concluded that the scale must have been brought here by natural causes 

 as wind and birds etc. from infested regions near by.
