clustered on both the under and upper sides of the leaves being 
more numerous on the former. They were also gathered 
thickly on the stems, especially at the juncture of the leaves 
with the stem. The coccids had their probosces firmly fixed 
in the tissue of the leaves and stems and were gaged in 
sucking up the sap. 
As a result of the attack, the leaves and stems of the Olive 
trees turned yellow, the former dropping off. 
This insect was first discovered! in 1899 by Dr. George 
Watt on tea bushes in the Kangra Valley and Assam, It will 
be most interesting to find out what trees it attacks in the latter 
Province in addition to the tea plant and also its complete life 
history throughout the year. 

1The insect was determined as a species new to Science by Mr. E. E’ 
Green, Government Entomologist, Ceylon. Mr. Green very kindly identi- 
fied my species for me as identical with Dr. Watt’s.
