NOTES AND EXHIBITION OF SPECIMENS. 



Mr. Wilder was glad to be informed by Mr. Craw that the 

 scale bug recently collected on his mango trees was not Coccus 

 mangiferae as originally supposed. Mr. Kotinsky stated that 

 while this scale insect was found on mango trees purchased 

 in the Moanalua Gardens, it was not found in Mr. Wilder'3 

 yard. The Coccus observed on trees other than of Moanalua- 

 origin proved to be Coccus acuminatus. As regards the white 

 "cottony" or "felty" scale on the Indian Mango trees in Moan- 

 alua, while Mr. Kotinsky was inclined to group it in the 

 Diasyidinae, Mr. C. L. Marlatt of the U. S. Bureau of Ento- 

 mology, in a recent letter, unhesitatingly called it Odonaspis 

 sp., and Mr. E. E. Green believed "that it will more probably 

 fall wdthin the Dactylopiines." A study of the early stages is 

 doubtless necessary to the elucidation of the problem, but this 

 will have to be done from the material on hand as all the 

 known plants infested with it were fumigated and the insect 

 probably exterminated. 



Mr. Kotinsky exhibited a specimen of Danais plexippus, the 

 legs of which were encircled and held fast by the tendril of a 

 cucurbitaceous vine. When discovered the insect was dead, 

 and was being attacked by ants. There was no means of 

 ascertaining whether the butterfly died a natural death, or waa 

 caught and held fast in the clutches of the tendril while 

 resting over night.
