Local investigations have also been undertaken by entomologists in 

 several States. A report from Illinois has been received from Pro- 

 fessor Forbes, adding four or five counties to the records obtained for 

 that State. Prof. J. B. Smith has reported from New Jersey, adding 

 five counties to the records previously obtained. Professor Garman 

 has added six counties from Kentucky not j)reviousiy reported, all in 

 the eastern end of the State, and belonging to Brood XXIII. Professor 

 Stedman sends an extended record of Missouri counties visited by the 

 Cicada this year, one of which is new to our records. 



The detailed reports from the parties named and a few records from 

 other sources are incorporated in the records given below. 



The records are summarized by States and counties for each brood. 

 The counties marked with a star (-*) indicate those in which the Cicada 

 occurred in one or more dense swarms,, in many cases several reports 

 being received from the same county. In the unstarred counties the 

 Cicada was reported in few or scattering numbers, or at least as not 

 abundant. The counties in italics duplicate old records; the counties 

 lacking confirmation by the records of this year are inclosed in paren- 

 theses and incorporated with the others.

x No authenticated reports of the occurrence of the Periodical Cicada in Montana 

 have hitherto been obtained. It is interesting to note that Mr. E. V. Wilcox, under 

 date of July 14, 1898, reports that this insect was noticed in small numbers in the 

 counties mentioned from June 15 to July 10, and that in Missoula County some 

 damage was done to young apple trees.
