Through the courtesy of Professor C. F. Baker of Los Banos, 

 P.I., I have had the privilege of examining a most interesting 

 series of Membracidae belonging to the Zoological Survey of 

 India. 



This collection contains five new species and furnishes a num- 

 ber of very valuable records. The report on these insects 

 follows : —
