. Bulletin - New York State Museum. Science. REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST, I 241 fruit garden has been under my eye for over a year. The scale has spread in spite of the efforts of the owner, who used whale oil soap to some extent. It has ruined many currant bushes, and badly stunted a number of pear trees, besides infesting to a certain degree peach and apple-trees. On the 9th of last July, numerous young were to be found on the more tender shoots, some appearing as though dusted with pollen on account of. Fig. 20 Young of pllvinakia on maple leaf (original). the larvae clustered at their tips. Developing scales were found in small numbers on the leaves and abundantly on the fruit. At its present rate of multiplication, most of the young trees in that garden will be ruined iu a few years. Only this spring, I found the scale at Lebanon Springs, some 20 miles from the Hudson river, and at an elevation of 900 feet — 2g^ below zero being known in that locality. Even when exposed to such extremes of temperature, and probably outside the limits of the upper austral life zone, the insect had been able to not only hold its own but had increased some, as the few trees infested were badly covered with the scale. It had spread very little, though the trees had been set out.
