JOURNAL J}f\a ]9ork ^Intoraologiral HoriFtg. Vol. XI. JUNE, 1903. No. 2. COCCIDiE OF THE CONIFERiE, WITH THE DE-SCRIPTIONS OF TEN NEW SPECIES FROM CALIFORNIA. Bv George A. Coleman. Stankord University, California. This paper includes the descriptions of ten new species of Cocci-dae and a list of additional species, all found on conifers in California, a host list showing the distribution of these various coniferous species in the state with the Coccidce found on each, some brief notes on the economic status of these conifer-infesting Coccida;, and a complete list of all other records of Coccidae on coniferous hosts in the world. The collections of, and notes on, the Coccidre of the California coni-fers were mostly made in the summer of 1901, during a special trip for the purpose, extending for about one thousand miles through the forests of the northern California coast region. The journey was made on foot with the camp equipment borne on pack animals, so that trails through the heart of the forests and back and forth over the mountain crests could be made. The trip extended through the most important timber region of the state, including parts, or all, of the range of twenty-five species of conifers. I wish to express my thanks to Professors W. R. Dudley and V. L. Kellogg, of Stanford University, for placing funds at my disposal for the expenses of the trip ; to Mr. T. H. Pergande, for comparison of some of my specimens with those in the collection of the Division of Entomology, U. S. Dept. of Agric. ; to Mr. Edw. M. Ehrhorn
