The '' alder - blig'ht'' and '' beech-blight'' are due to species of this kind, and more important than all is the '' apple- blight," or " the woolly apple-louse.'' This spe- cies, Schizoncura la7ii- gera, has been intro- duced into other countries, and is known in England and Aus- tralia as the "American ; Young trees are frequently injured by these aphids, which gather in masses on the trunks, and cause the death of the bark below the point of attack. The eggs may be found singly in the bark ^'^- 98- crevices during win- ter, completely envel- oped in the dry skin of the female, and from them appear, in spring, agamic, wing- less forms, which bear living young. This method of reproduc- tion continues until the winged type, which spreads to other localities, is produced in late summer. The sexed forms are wingless and mouthless, the female producing only a single Q^g ; but in the southern parts of our country it
