Mapleton. A great number of nymphs were dug up on the farm 

 of George Baylor near this place (C. R. Crosby, Ithaca). 



The above records should be supplemented by those of V. H. 

 Lowe l who recorded the species in 1 899 from Union Springs and 

 points extending about 3 miles north, 3 miles west and 7 J miles 

 south of that locality. 



Livingston county. Conesus lake. On the west side near Long 

 pond there were great numbers of Cicadas. They were sufficiently 

 numerous to keep up a continuous singing during the sunny hours 

 (William T. Davis, New Brighton). 



Geneseo. There were a few in the village and large numbers 

 were to be found upon the estate of W. A. Wadsworth to the south 

 and also north of the village in woods and fields where they were 

 reported as being present by millions (William R. Houston). 

 Supplementing the preceding, a colony was reported to be in a hedge 

 row and neighboring woods west of the town. The Cicadas were 

 said to have been destroyed soon after they made their appearance 

 (P. J. Parrott, Geneva). 



Groveland. The insects were reported as present and as having 

 entirely disappeared by July 6th (P. J. Parrott, Geneva). 



Mount Morris. A large colony was reported from the Conklin 

 woods near the Craig Colony for Epileptics at Sonyea and another 

 brood 5 miles west and near Geneseo (Frank George, Mount Morris). 



Sonyea. A portion of the forest owned by the Craig Colony 

 for Epileptics literally swarmed with Cicadas, they being so thick 

 that one grab at the leaves of a young oak resulted in capturing 

 twenty insects. No damage was reported (Truman L. Stone, 

 Sonyea) . 



Monroe county. Irondequoit. The insects were reported from 

 this locality (P. J. Parrott, Geneva). 



West Webster. Cicadas appear to have been very abundant 

 in this locality and their presence w T as recorded by several observers. 

 A few adults were found in an orchard by Mr Eversley S. Ferris 

 May 26th, and from June 4th to 14th. Both Mr Ferris and Mr 

 George A. Franck of Rochester found the insects occurring by 

 the thousands in the apple orchard on Mr Welcher's farm. Mr 

 Franck stated that on June 5th he collected, with help, some 6000 

 specimens in four hours, taking fifteen males to one female ; June 6th 

 he found females more abundant though not nearly so numerous 

 as the males; on June 8th he collected 1000 adults in three-fourths
