454 The American Naturalist. [May, 
appearance, as far as known to me, may be arranged chronologically 
as follows: 
1881, BROOD xvitt. 
While collecting insects with Mr. Leng in the neighborhood of 
Watchogue, we found a red-eyed Cicada pupa under a stone, and on 
the 5th of June, eight specimens were collected, many of them being 
wet, having but recently emerged. By the 12th of June, they had 
become quite numerous, and I counted about one tree near Silver 
Lake, fifty-two pupa skins. The brood to which these insects belonged 
does not appear in great numbers in the east, but is mainly located in 
Wisconsin and the neighboring States. Staten Island, Essex Co., New 
Jersey, and Germantown, Penna., were apparently, the only eastern 
localities from which the insect was reported in 1881. 
1885, BROOD XXII. 
I made special search this year for the Periodical Cicada, as one of 
the most widely extended broods known, was to make its appearance. 
On the western end of Long Island in the neighborhood of Brooklyn, 
. they came in some numbers, and also sparingly in New Jersey, the 
main body in the east, however, occuring in Pennsylvania and thence 
southwestward. ‘ 
On the Island the insects must have been quite scarce. Mr. James 
Raymond and I, were walking along a wood-path in the Clove Valley 
on the 4th of July, when we found a wing that probably some bird had 
pulled off a red-eyed Cicada, as they so often do. To those who are 
acquainted with the character of the wings of this insect, their colors 
ete., this will constitute ample authority for its presence. In the 
autumn, an old pupa skin was collected, and the following April, 
another was found at South Amboy, New Jersey. 
1888. 
On the 16th of June while in the valley of Logan’s Spring Brook I 
heard a z-ing in the distance like that produced by the seventeen year 
Cicada. As it stopped shortly and was not repeated the search was 
abandoned. Eight days later, when by the same brook the song Ma 
again heard, and this time followed to apparently the same tree werd 
whence it came on the previous occasion. After some search t 
insect was detected on the under side of the limb, and captured. 9%; 
of its fore wings was deformed so that it was unable to fly, and of gue 
must have been born in the immediate vicinity. This was the ony 
individual seen during this year.
