(9) Chrysanthemum (CompositsB). — lu Dr. Straclian's garden in Kingston I found 

 the ordinary cultivated species very badly infested by Lecanium hemisphcericum, and 

 less severely by Orthesia insignis, Dougl. 



(10) Ficus (Urticacese). — On a large Ficus tree in the yard of the Museum, Cero- 

 plastes floridensrs is common, with^isjjx'd. articnlaius, A. ficus, and A. perso7iatus. A. 

 ficus is on the under side of the leaves, but the other two species of the genus mainly 

 on the ujjper. 



(11) Greivia rothii (Tiliacese). — Leaves from the Parade Garden in June (Da Costa) 

 had a few young Cero])lastes fioridensis on their upper sides. 



(12) Ixora coccinea (Rubiacese). — Leaves from the Parade Garden in June (Da Costa) 

 had on their upper sides some very young Ceroplasies, apparently /o>-ide??sis. Ixora 

 sp. in Dr. Strachan's garden was badly attacked by Lecanium hemisjjhcericum. 



(13) lamhosamalaccensis (L.) D. C. (Myrtacese). — In June Mrs. Swainson brought 

 me leaves picked in Kingston, on the under sides of which were several Vinsonia 

 stellifera, and some Lecanium niangiferw, green. 



(14) Musa (Musaceae). — In August I found several Aspid. articulatus on a leaf in 

 the garden of the Museum. A young banana in the Museum yard, recently planted, 

 soon had on it an adult, or nearly adult, scale of Ceroplastes fioridensis. It was 

 doubtless blown as a larva from an overhanging Ficus. In September the same tree 

 had on it also A. articulatus, A. personatus, and A. ficus, but the two latter species 

 seemed not to thrive. 



(15) Meyenia alba (Acanthacese). — A specimen from the Parade Garden, June (Da 

 Costa), had on it a few Lecanium oJecB Bern. 



(16) Murraya (Aurantiacese). — In June Mr. C. B. Taylor brought me a twig of 

 this shrub, obtained in Kingston, with Aspid. articulatus and Mytilaspis citricola 

 (Pack.). Comstock remarks (1883, Report, p. 117) that M. citricola is only found on 

 Citrus trees, and now that an excei^tion to this statement is found it is interesting 

 to notre that the plant is of the same natural order. 



(17) Mangifera indica, L. (Terebinthacese.) — {a) In June Mrs. Swainson brought 

 me leaves of Mango picked in Kingston, on which were several Vinsonia steUifera, 

 some Aspidiotus personatus, and two small scales of ^. articulatus. 



(&) In June I found in Manchester Square, Kingston, leaves of Mango on which 

 were Lecanium olece, L. mangiferce, Ceroplastes (apparently j^oH^Ze^jsis), Vinsonia, Aspi- 

 diotus personatus, and Aspidiotus n. sp. 



(c) In June Miss Helen Kilburn sent me two green mangoes, from Kingston, much 

 infested by Dactylopius longifilis, Comst. ( 9 's axid young) ; there were also two speci- 

 mens of a flat Aspidiotus, each making a pale patch on the fruit. 



(18) Merium oleander (Apocynacese). — Leaves of oleander received from Mr. 

 Rouse in June had on them Asj^id. ficus, A. articulatus, and A. personatus. 



(19) Olea hispanica (Oleacese). — On leaves from the Parade Garden, June (Da 

 Costa), were very many Aspid. personatus and a few A. articulatus. 



(20) Persea persea (L.) ^^gratissima, G. (Laurineae). — In June Mrs. Swainson 

 brought me a leaf picked in Kingston on which were many Aspid. personatus, and 

 one or two A. articulatus. 



(21) Punica granatumLi. (Lythracese). — A plant in garden of Museum has ^Zej/ro(7es 

 sp. on the under sides of the leaves and above is infested by Aspidiotus personatus, 

 A. articulatus, and A. sp. (scale white, circular or nearly so, exuviae covered, orange 

 brown, first skin nipple-like and shiny; $ plump, rounded, orange). There are also 

 a few examples of a small CMonaspis, probably C. minor Mask. 



(22) Portlandia grandiflora, L. (Rubiacese). — Leaves from the Parade Garden, in 

 June (Da Costa), had on their upper sides specimens of Asptidiotus articulatus. 



(23) Vitis vinifera, L. (Ampelidese). — In September my wife found a specimen of 

 Lecanium olece on a black grape.
