Hah. On Dalea jormosa ; this plant kindly identified for me 

 by Prof. E. O. Wooton. The scales were discovered on the 

 Little or Tortugas ]\Iountain, in the Mesilla Valley, New 

 Mexico, on the occasion of a meeting of the New Mexico 

 Agricultural College Field Club, May 12th, T894. Ahhough 

 the plant is very common all over the mountain, I found the 

 scales only on two plants, but on these they abounded. 



The species is entirely distinct from Ceroplastodes niveus, 

 though clearly congeneric with it.
