REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1907 49 
The above records seem to establish beyond question the identity 
of a brood which has hitherto been ignored. ‘The insects can 
hardly be considered as stragglers from the brood of the preceding 
year since they were more abundant in 1907. It is interesting in 
this connection to note that Mr Davis records the presence in 1892 
of several cicadas at West New Brighton, Logan Springs and Ross- 
- ville, and we therefore should expect some to appear in 1909, 
another year when the presence of the 17-year race has not been 
recorded. Furthermore, Mr Davis states that cicadas were fairly 
numerous June 11, 1893, near Willow brook and later along Logan 
spring brook. Specimens were also taken at West New Brighton. 
These latter may be precursors of the large brood, number 2, due 
to appear in IQII.
