 INTRODUCTORY 3 



NOXIOUS INSECTS. 



THE BARK-LICE OF THE APPLE-TREE 7 



Two species known to occur in the United States, 7 Harris's bark- 

 louse not numerous enough to do material damage, 7. 



The oyster-shell bark-louse, Mytilaspis pomorum 7 



Difference in the scales of the two species, 7 Introduction of the 

 oyster-shell bark-louse from Europe and its spread in the United 

 States, 8 Precautionary measures to prevent its introduction 

 into Missouri, 8 Its habits studied by different observers in 

 1867, 9 Seasonal notes on the development of the insect, 10 

 Only one annual brood in Missouri, 12 Formation and nature of 

 the scale, 12 Rare occurrence of males, 14 Difference of opinion 

 among observers as to the mode of growth of the scale, 14 Diffi- 

 culty of explaining the spread of the insect from one tree to 

 another, 15 Its occurrence upon other kinds of trees, 15 Nat- 

 ural enemies, 16 Artificial remedies, 16 Examination of young 

 trees before planting, 16 Washing with alkalies, etc., 17 Scrub- 

 bing the branches with a stiff brush, 17 Fumigating, 17 Appli- 

 cation of sheep-manure, 17 Washes in general ineffective, 17 

 The insect can most successfully be fought during three or four 

 days of the year only, 18.
