LIST OF PERSONS REPORTING THE PERIODICAL CICADA, 1898, WITH 

 BRIEF INDICATION OF THE NATURE OF THE RECORD. 



The exact records obtained by this Division relative to the occur- 

 rence of Broods YI aud XXIII in the early summer of 1898 are given 

 below, arranged under each brood by States and counties. Upwards of 

 2,000 additional reports were received of a negative character from the 

 States listed below and others, and of these no record need be made; 

 these reports, however, are of considerable value as showing the reg- 

 ions in the States listed and adjoining States in which presumably the 

 Cicada did not occur.
