The writer is greatly indebted to Mr. L. O. Howard and his assist- 
ants, Messrs. Marlatt and Pergande; also Professors Bogue, Cooley, 
and King, all of whom took part in the study and identification of the 
Coccidee recorded in this paper. 
In discussing this paper Mr. Fernald stated that he deemed it worthy 
of mention that Dzaspis amygdali has now been reported from five 
places in Massachusetts, all near Boston, all upon trees used for shrub- 
bery or ornamental trees of various kinds, and that in each case it has 
been traced to plants bought of a nursery importing direct from Japan. 
It does not seem to spread rapidly from tree to tree or plant to plant, 
but it is nevertheless very effectual in crushing out the life of the plant 
it is on, and has survived very severe weather. 
Mr. Kirkland said there was no doubt about the nursery in question, 
as he had been there once or twice and had seen shipments just un- 
packed from Japan which were infested with D). amygdalz. 
Adjourned until 9 a. m., June 23.
