I attempted to get them to locate upon cottonwood twigs by inclosing them with twigs in a breeding cage, but without suc- cess.

While it seems probable that the winged migrants establish new colonies somewhere, perhaps upon some different food plant, it is also certain, as in the case of Chermes coloradensts, that some of the apterous females live over winter upon the trees, for bark which I removed January 29th, at Grand June- tion, was found to have living lice and some eggs. These eggs I was able to hatch in the laboratory, and the young established themselves upon cottonwood twigs that were furnished them and did well. When very numerous, the lice often cause rough, knot-like growths of trunk or branches, much as in the case of Schizoneura lanigera of the apple.

The Eggs—rThe eggs are very pale straw yellow, much lighter than any of the Chermes eggs I have seen, and are .023 mm. in length by .o14 mm. in width. The eggs are not attached but simply entangled by the cottony secretion.

Young.—The newly hatched young are like the eggs in gen- eral color, with legs, antennz and distal end of the long beak dusky, and the eyes bright red.

Adult Apterous Female—rThe adult apterous females are also very light yellow in color, the older individuals being the darker. Large females measure approximately .8 mm. long by .6 mm. broad. The size and arrangement of the wax glands or plates are best indicated in the drawing, Plate I, Figs. D and E. The only plates showing on the ventral surface are the mar- ginal ones, while dorsally all the longitudinal rows extend continuously to the eighth abdominal segment. At least they can be so traced in some individuals. The beak is peculiar, in that it may be extended so as to attain, or even surpass, the tip of the abdomen, when it appears to be four-jointed. The rather long basal piece seems to serve as a tube into which the next joint, the real first joint, composed of seven or eight serial pieces, as shown in the figure, may be telescoped. The two distal joints are both quite short. From specimens taken June 16th, and December 12th, 1906, at Grand Junction.

The egg-masses were obtained at New Richmond, Ohio, during July, 1907, by exposing a large tub of water out of doors. Within a week afterwards, the water in the tub was literally alive with the young of vestwans, and numerous egg- masses were found each morning floating on its surface. ‘The great majority of the adults reared were captured and care- fully examined, but during the month no other species made its appearance.

I am indebted to Mr. Frederick Knab, U. S. National Museum, for determination of the species.
