Distribution and present status of the San Jose Scale ia Japan. g 



7. Gunma-lien. 



The occurrence of the San Jose Scale in this province was noticed at the 

 following locahties : Mayebashi, Takasaki, Isezaki and Tomioka. There are 

 no orchards generally speaking, and only a dozen or less trees standing in 

 private yards ; the stock came chiefly from Angio or Tokyo recently. 



<S. Saitama-hen. 



Angio is one of our large nursery districts growing no fruit ; and so far 

 as we know no other localities in this province have the scale. Much infest- 

 ed stock was no doubt sent off from Angio all over the empire, where it was 

 brought from Tokyo, soon after the Kwaitakushi introduced American 

 stock, as mentioned elsewhere in this paper. So we may say that Angio 

 directly or indirectly is a great source of the scale, because almost all nursery 

 stock which is sold by dealers at Tokyo, Yokohama and elsewhere is obtained 

 from Angio. Of course the stock which is sent off from this nursery district 

 is properly inspected with regard to the San Jose Scale and all other pests at 

 present. 



.9. CJtiba-ken. 



The occurrence of the scale in this province has been ascertained in -i 

 places, Matsudo, Yawata and Sakura. The stock was obtained from Tokyo 

 ai;d Angio. 



10. Ibaraki-kciK 



The San Jose Scale has been found in 5 localities, and the source of the 

 infection appears to have been nursery stock recently introduced from Angio 

 and other places. 



11. Tokyo-fii. 



It is very apparent that the Tokyo city is the original source of the 

 scale in Japan, importing much American stock since 1871 and spreading it 

 over the Empire directly or indirectly, just as it is shown on the map ; but in 

 Tokyo there are a few nursery dealers who import foreign stock directly from 

 foreign land.
