(4) Aspidiotus osborni Newell & CKIl.  _ 
Taken on Quercus aquatica at Atlanta, Fort Valley, Marshallville, 
Tifton, and Poulan, Ga.

(5) Aspidiotus juglans-regie Comst. 
Occurs very abundantly in extreme south Georgia, but rarely in 
middle Georgia, on peach, plum, and prickly ash. Ina few instances 
it has been seriously injurious, necessitating treatment. 
(6) Aspidiotus hederw Vall. 
This species occurs in south Georgia, badly infesting China trees and 
oleander, and is a common pest in most of the greenhouses of the 
State; on palms, Cycas revoluta, Jasminium grandifiora, and orange. 
The treatment generally adopted by florists is lemon-oil wash. 
(7) Aspidiotus jicus Ashm. 
This is a bad pest in most of the greenhouses in the State, on palms, 
Cycas revoluta, and ferns. The writer has made extensive experl- 
ments at Augusta and Marshallville on the use of hydrocyanic-acid gas 
as a remedy for greenhouse pests, with the result that A. jews and 
other greenhouse insects were destroyed by the gas. No injury 
resulted to the common run of greenhouse plants where the remedy 
was properly applied.

- Found in a greenhouse at Savannah on Cycas revoluta. 
(9) Aspidiotus wee Comst.

not hitherto been known to occur on this food plant. 
(10) Aspidiotus tenebricosus Comst. 
As a-rule the maple shade trees all over the State are infested with 
this scale insect. The damage to these shade trees in the cities is great, 
finally causing their death. 
(11) Aspidiotus obscurus Comst. 
This is a very abundant species widely distributed over the State on 
oaks. It is quite injurious to the oak shade trees in the cities andalso -
