“The San José Scale (Aspidiotus perniciosus, Comstock). “ Guides to 
Growers,” No, 35, Departinent of Agriculture, Victoria, January, 1898. This 
refers to its occurrence in the Wangaratta district of Victoria on trees derived 
from a Sydney nurseryman; also to a variety procured in the same district on 
eucalypt by Mr. Adcock, and named ewcalypti. | 
* The occurrence of A. perniciosus in Victoria would appear to date back to 1895; for in 
March of that year C. French sent some apple-twigs with many scales representing that insect to 
W. H. Maskell (Agricultural Gazette, New South Wales, VI., p. 868, 1895), which were probably 
also derived from Wangaratta (cf. Australian Vigneron, VI., 1895, p. 214).
