Dhio R. S. McKay (May 30): These insects are very numerous , covering a 
small area in Batavia and Stonelick Townships in Clermont County. 
Adults were first noticed May 27. 
T. H. Parks (June 23): Locusts have appeared in the southern 
counties in swarms larger than expected. Lawrence County has the 
most* Swarms are reported to date from Gallia, Scioto, Pike, Ross, 
Adams, Brown, Clermont, and Hamilton Counties. The survey is not 
yet complete.

peaches and apples . 
Lee M. Hut chins (June 15): Heavy injury has been reported from 
locusts on newly cleared ground at Kingston, particularly on trees 
in their second and third year in the orchard; the shoots 1/4 to 
1/2 inch in diameter are partially or completely broken off. 
Indiana J. J. Davis (June 13): The locust is reported as abundant in a grove 
four or five miles north of La Fayette on June 13. Infestation is

BROOD XXII (THIRTEEN- YEAR RACE) 
Mississippi Seo. H. Kent (May 26): The 1923 brood of the periodical cicada 
appeared in Franklin County in large numbers about the earlier part 
of May. I have taken notes on this insect for 52 years past as 
follows: 1871, 1884, 1897, 1910 and now in 1923. Stragglers will 
appear again in 1924 as they have in 1872, 1885, 1898, and 1911, and 
have formed, eventually, a new brood of some considerable scientific 
value and importance. 
R. W. Harned (June 7): We have now received specimens of the period- 
ical cicada or 13-year locust, belonging to Brood XXII, from each of 
the counties where it had previously been reported, that is, Adams, 
Amite, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wilkinson Counties. Besides 
that we have received specimens from three other counties, Warren, 
Hinds , and Utica. 
Louisiana T. H. Jones (June 14): The first 1923 adults of this brood of which 
we have record were taken on May 8 at a point in Livingston Parish 
directly across the Amite River from Magnolia (East Baton Rouge Parish) , 
Later on during May and early June colonies were noted a few miles to 
the north and east of Baton Rouge (East Baton Rouge Parish). Prof. 
0. W. Rosewall of the Louisiana State University has specimens as 
follows: Deerford (E. Baton Rouge Parish); Hope Villa( Ascension 
Parish); Jackson (E. Feliciana Parish). I also have a verbal report, 
without specimens, of the appearance of the species at St. Francis ville
