1906] JOHNSON PERIODICAL CICADA 159

THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PERIODICAL CICADA IN NEWENGLAND IN 1906.

IN New England the Periodical Cicada (Tibicen septendecim) of 1906, knownas brood VIII (Marlatt) is confined to portions of Plymouth and Barnstable counties,Massachusetts. I have attempted to find out, as nearly as possible, the area occupiedby this insect in the two counties. The most northern locality seems to be theMahomet Hills, or "Pine Hills" as they are locally called, about five miles southeastof Plymouth. This is the only record I have from Plymouth county. In Barnstablecounty, it is more widely distributed. Mr. Arthur A. tteald, Supt. of Public Schools,of Wareham, in a letter dated June 27, says’--"At present all that I can speak ofwith certainty are the towns of Sandwich, Mashpee, Bourne and Falmouth. Mr.Joseph A. Cushman fo.und them very abundant at North Falmouth, June 15; theywere also very plentiful at Cataumet and Pocasset. Miss Delia I. Griffin, Curatorof the Fairbanks Museum, St. Johnsbury, Vermont, found it in great numbers in thewoods near Osterville; this is the most easterly locality from which it has been re-

ported. It made its appearance during the first week in June, the third being thefirst positive date I have of its emergence.
