EGG TRANSFERS, BROODS VII AND XXII, 1 137 
The three lots of eggs sent to Mr. George Noble. Savannah, Ga.,w< 
received by him in good condition, and hatched perfectly. They 
placed under certain cherry trees, each marked with a zinc label. 
on the farm known as •• Reiser's,'" 1\ miles southeast from the city 
exchange. 
The twigs sent to Prof. J. E. Willet, at Macon, Ga., were deposited 
in the Central Park, in Macon, as follows: The twigs from Indiana 
were deposited at the base of three trees; first, a small elm just within 
the half-mile track, about 100 yards eastward of the turn of the track 
nearest the main entrance; second, a tine hickory on the bluff of the 
river, about opposite the middle of the track: and third, a sweet gum 
on the bluff, about 100 feet southeast of the hickory. These three t: 
have each a zinc label with the legend, "XVII-year Cicada. Indiana. 
1885-'98-1902. r The twigs from Michigan were deposited at the base 
of a sweet gum at the north end of the editor's home. The zinc label 
on this tree bears the legend, '-XVII-year Cicada, Mich., 1885- , 98-1902. 7? 
Dr. D. L. Phares, of Agricultural College. Oktibbeha County, Miss., 
deposited the first twigs sent to him on the ground under the base of a 
hickory tree standing G feet, a little south of east, from the bottom of 
the steps of the front porch of his house at the Agricultural and 
Mechanical College. The second lot which he received he deposited 
under a hickory tree standing 16 feet west of his parlor. There are no 
other hickory trees near the two described. 
Prof. Eugene A. Smith, of the University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa, 
Ala., placed the twigs sent him about the roots of three isolated oaks 
(Quercus pheUos and <}. aquatica) situated not far from the center of 
the southeast quarter of the college campus. They are the only trees 
in this southeast quarter, except along the fence, and there will be no 
difficulty in identifying them. 
The eggs sent Mr. John D. Wilkins, at Selma, Ala., were deposited 
by him at the foot of a water oak iO. aquatica) which may be reached 
by commencing at the northeast corner of Second and Union stre.-t^. 
Selma, at the fence corner on the sidewalk and measuring east along 
Second street for 85 feet; thence north at right angles 01 feet to the 
tree. 
Miss M. E. Murtfeldt, at Kirk wood. Mo., placed the twigs sent to 
her under two young apple trees standing somewhat apart in the north- 
east corner of Mr. O. VY. Mart feldt's orchard at Kirkwood and too 
close to two division fences to admit of the ground on which they stand 
being plowed. 
Dr. Charles Mohr, of Mobile, Ala., writes that the experiment was, 
with him, a probable failure, as nearly or quite all of the eggs had 
hatched before being placed, owing to his absence from home when 
received. The twigs were placed, however, under a pecan tree in Dr, 
Mohr's yard in Mobile, and there is a possibility that a lew larva' entered 
the ground and that some Cicada 3 will be observed in L898 or L902.
