Doctor Smith must fiave devoted to the subji'ct. and surprises one with the a(<ura< y

j;}-year broods and the fourteen 17-y(>ar broods mentioned in liulletin 11. 
Taking the reconls in the order in which they are given in Doctor Smith's register, 
and beginning with the lo-year race, it will be seen that the localities listed after 1842 
and 1855 refer to Brood XIX, after 1843 to Brood XX, and similarly 1844 to Brood XXI, 
1845 to Brood XXII, 184G and 1859 to Brood XXIII, 1849 to Brood XXVI, and 1854 
to Brood XVIII. 
Comparing in the same way his register of the northern tribe, or 17-year race, it is 
seen that his localities listed after 1842 apply to Brood I, after 1843 to Brood II, and 
similarly 1844 to Brood III, 1845 to Brood IV, 1846 to Brood V, 1847 to Brood VI, 1848 
to Brood VII, 1849 to Brood VIII, 1850 to Brood IX, 1851 to Brood X, 1852 to Brood 
XI, 1854 to Brood XIII, and 1855 to Brood XIV. The records given after 1853 are 
probably erroneous, as indicated in the discussion of my Brood XII (pp. 55-56). —
