were true Kermes, but following the first list is a list of rec- 

 ords taken from the remarkable list of rearings by Giraud 

 collected and annotated by Laboulbene and published in the 

 Annales de la Societe Entomologiqite de France for 1877 

 (pages 397-436) in which the identification of the hosts as 

 Kermes is open to doubt, judging from the food plants on 

 which they occurred. No true Kermes are known except upon 

 oak, and the food plants indicated in this French hst belong 

 to a variety of genera. It is altogether likely that Giraud 

 called almost any naked Lecaniine Kermes. And these rec- 

 ords are included here simply because they are already mat- 

 ters of record. It is evident that they should not be accepted 

 except possibly in the cases where they are recorded as occur- 

 ring on Quercus. Mr. Harold Morrison has prepared a note 

 on these Giraud rearings which is appended to the list.
