Virginia William Iliddleton (J-Jiie 4): I picked up the accompanying pupa case 
of V7hat appears to be the periodical cicada at Falls Clvj-r-ch, Va., 
on J-'jne 4. This iray be fairly interesting because no emergence is 
due there this year. I guess that it is a belated individijal of 
the 14th brood and if there are sufficientr of them they may form a 
regular appearing colony of the 15th brood. 
Indiana J. J. Pavis (June 21 ) : Ee;33n to shew iip in Vanderburg and Q-ibson 
Counties on June 11, and Montgomery repcrced it from Fosey County 
on June 12. Countj^' agent w'iison of Evansville made a trip from 
Evansville to Terre Hau.te on June 14 and observed cicada.s plentifiil 
as far north as S-oIlivaii.

Basil E. irontgomery als:o obser\-ed numbers of pupa shells on June 1. 
(2-3): Definite reports have come in of the occurrence of one or 
mdre swarms in each of the following Counties: V'anderburg, Posey, 
Gibson, Pike, Zno::, and Daviess. The first to emerge near Vincennes 
were of the smaller variety, but both varieties were present later. 
Two distinct swarms have been noticed in the eastern ps.rt of the 
County, near the T7abash Piver,in Lawrence Eounty. 
Kentucky H. C. Biirnett (June 16): I noticed in the G-lcbe Dem.ccrat ?. week 
ago or so about Brood XXIII of the so-called locusts. Thej^ liave 
appeared here and are q-uite abundant. There are more now than 
there have been since I was a boy, 35 years or more ago at Kirksey, 
and I am now 52 ye^irs old. 
Tennessee Geo. A. Lyles (l.Iay 31 ): Locusts are in this part of the cour.try, 
in the locality of iiason, and many people think they poison berries 
and other fruit so they are unfit for food. 
C. B. Eetts (June 5): Te are seeing an increasing number of locusts 
from day to day. Their song through the day is one continual hvm.
