ApHIDIDvE. 
The general history and mode of life of the insects of this family are 
described by Taschenberg (Wirbell. Thiere, &c. pp. 198-206), who also 
speciall}’^ describes the following injurious species: — Aphis pa^mver is (Fab.), 
1. c. pp. 205-207, pi. 7. figs. 7-9 j A, hrassicce (Linn.), 1. c, p. 207 ; A. 
avence (Fab.), and A. cerealis (Kalt.), 1. c. p. 208 ; A. idmarim (Schr.), I, c. 
p. 209 j A. vicics (Kalt.), 1. c. p. 210; A. humuli (Schr.), I, c. p. 211 ; A, so- 
lani (Kalt.), 1. c. p. 234, 
Bold (Nat. Hist. Trans. North, & Durh. i. pp. 124-126) notices the occur- 
rence of great numbers of Aphides in Northumberland in 1864, and describes 
the mischief done by them to various cultivated plants, such as turnips 
(Aphis rapcej Curt.), corn of various kinds (Siphonojdiora cerealis^ Kalt.), 
clover (S. pisi, Kalt.), beans (A. fahce)j and cabbages (A. hrassicce). 
Balbiani maintains that the viviparous Aphides are hermaphrodite, and 
states that he has discovered the reproductive organs of both sexes. Bull. 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 1865, p. xlv. 
Haswell records the occurrence of immense swarms of Aphides in various 
parts of Scotland in September 1865. Ent. M. Mag. ii. p. 142. 
CoCCIDiE. 
Coccus (hesperidmn?) is said by Naysser to have been of late very in- 
jurious to the orange-trees between Cannes and Antibes. He remarks on 
its mode of occurrence, and recommends for its destruction nocturnal fumi- 
gations by burning damp straw or seaweed. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1865, 
pp. Iv-lvi. 
Balph gives some account (Trans. Boy. Soc. Victoria, vol. vi. pp. 10-13) 
of the natural history of the Coccus of the orange. 
Fauvel states that Saissctin coffr.ce (Bcplanclio) is identical with Lccanium 
coffece. Bull. Soc. Linn. Norm, tome ix. p. 127. 
Helaharpe notices the occurrence of a Coccus on leaves of Chamcerops hu- 
milis. Bull, Soc. Vaudoise des Sci. Nat. tome viii. pp. 26-26. 
J. W. Dunning communicated to the Entomological Society of London a 
translation of Dr. leery ’s memoir on the ‘ Pou .a poche blanche ’ of the Mau- 
ritius. (Proc. Ent. Soc. 1864, pp. 61-66.) i
