The Oyster Shell Bark louse.—(Mytilaspis pomorum, Bouche), Fig. 56, isvery common and destructive in this district, occurring not only on apple treesbut also on many other kinds of shrubs and trees in the garden and forest. Itwas noted as injuriously abundant on red and black currants, lilac, spiraeas,ash, dogwood (Cornus), mountain ash and hawthorne. The Forbes scale wasfound on the fragrant currant (Eibes aureum, Parsb), and the Putnamscale on the elm.
