SCALE INSECTS. 



A winged male is shown above. Its single pau- of wings should be noted, and below them the hooked projections described in accompanying paper. In the 



centre, below, are two females, the upper, from pear tree, distended with eggs ; the lower, from apple, after eggs have been laid. At the sides are outer and 



umer views of a circular scale and a " miissel-scale." The inner view of the latter indistinctly shows shrivelled body of female above, and plainly eggs below. 



Small portions of pear and apple twigs are shown between these and the female insects, with the scales of the natural size.
