THE (iKEKDY SCALE. {Asj^idiotiLs rapax Comntock—tig. 10.) This is (juite a large species, readily distinguished from the others we have treated by its very convex scale and uniform drab or yellow- ish-brown color, except for the dark brown exuvium which often shows near the center. The adult female scale is less circular than most of the other species, and does not always show the exuvial spot, which is at one side and covered with a film of secretion. The male scale is much smaller, and elliptical in outline. The 3'oung are nearly circular, with a central nipple often surrounded by a pale gray ring. This scale is very abundant in California and has spread somewhat eastward, especially in the South. It attacks various orchard trees, but more commonly the orange. It is a scale that is lial)le to be found more commonly in the future, and orchardists should be on the lookout for it. The greedy scale, in California, winters in all stages. THE GKAFE SCALE. {Aspidiotas uvn' Comstock.) This is a more or less elliptical scale, with the exuvium rather nearer one end. It has a yellowish or pale brownish color, with a whitish center near the exuvium, the latter of a pale yellow. The scales are often found in a longitudinal row, and rarel}^ infest both sides of the.
