Dear Sir, 
1 
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter 
of the 26th February, and regret tjmt it has taken some time 
to secure the identifications of the various Coccidae which 
you then sent us* These have now been identified by Mr* F. 
Laing, and I enclose a list of the names* In the great majority 
of cases the insect proved to be Phenacoccus iceryoides which 
seems to have secured a fairly wide hold on your vegetation* 
We are very glad to be able to secure records of all these 
various host-plants. 
Thanking you for the material you have kindly sent us. 
I remain, 
«
