Text Any textual data included in the document To Sir Joseph Banks Baronet President of the Royal Society. Dear Sir, Since writing to you by the Ship Phoenix; I have had abov a hundred pounds weight of the Cochineal insect brought in from the adjacent country, and learn from correspondents they may be collected even in greater plenty to the northward, at Duraspatnam about 50, and Nellore 90 miles from hence. The young creep on any thing in their neighbourhood indifferently, a leaf of Opuntia, a spike of glass, or a clod of earth; but in our management do not survive eight days. The great quantity with which I have been supplied, from which millions of young have come under inspection, has however enabled me to investigate the Fly more minutely, and I now find it is furnished with four procumbent wings, which brings it more properly under the Kermes, than Coccus kind of the Linnean system, but as the character Saltatoria is wanting, it may be a new genus to compleat the discription of which the microscopical view of a Caterpillar found within the outer Coccus amongst the young insects is annexed No. 5. These Caterpillars are as numerous as the male flies, which do not exceed the proportion of one male to two hundred females. Swammerdam observed that such a Caterpillar on the dog Rofe and black poplar produced a moth or fly, as represented in Doctor Hills translation Tables XLIV and XLV but hitherto I have seen no change of state in these Caterpillars. I come now to acquaint you I have found an Insect on the Phyllanthus. Emblica or Nellikai of the Tamuls of a purplish red colour and surrounded with a silky covering, of so loose a texture, that the threads of it which are as fine as those of the smallest spiders web, may be drawn out to the length of several inches before they break. This insect is now oviparous and deposits its eggs in the silky nest', one of them under the microscope discharged 13 eggs which appeared like a string of purple beads. I have hitherto seen no files belonging to them, and am therefore unable to give them any generic name, but they appear so like the drawings for the female Cochineal described by Mr. Ellis, Philosophical Translations Vol 52d, part 2d, page 664, of which a few days ago I obtained a Copy— that I have prevailed on my friend Baron Reichel to take a microscopical drawing of this Insect l which is annexed and marked No, 6. Linneus his notes says the Aphis is viviparous in summer, and oviparous in autumn by analogy it may be presumed, that altho this Insect is oviparous at present, it may become viviparous in the months of May and June. Finding a Caterpillar likewise inclosed in the silky covering of these Insects, a drawing thereof, as it appears in the microscope, is annexed No. 7. I have likewise found a viviparous Insect covered with white Farina on the Robinia Grandiflora or Agaty Jumbo of the Tamuls on the Psidium Quajava and Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis with a nipple between the two foremost pair of legs, a drawing of which, is enclosed No. 8. These Insects are only of a purplish orange colour; but observing the Aphis on the cabbage leaf green, on the Apocinum-Scandens yellow, and of a chocolate colour on the orange tree, I am disposed to believe the colour of Insects is much affected by the nature of their food, and therefore have placed all of them on the Opuntia. The Abbe Reynal„ in his last edition, says the Opuntia in Mexico must be carefully planted and cultivated eighteen months before it will produce any Cochineal, and Pluckenet, and after him Sir Hans Sloan, whom all succeeding writers have copied, expressly declare the Opuntia bearing Cochineal to have only soft, inofensive thorns; now I am free to say, the wild Plum, Sloe and Rasberry, as well as the Orange tree are more armed than after they have been cultivated, the Mimosa Arabica, known here by the name of the Cock-spur-thorn, when cultivated in a garden almost looses that distinction and the hardest wood I have ever observed grows without culture, Linnaeus in his Philosophia Botannica Page 50slays — "spina estmucro plantce o ligno plantce protusus, Prunus, Rhamnus, Hippophce, Celastrus, Lyaum, cultura sepius evanescit; ut in Pyro. If the same effect is produced on the Opuntia by the like means, which is more probable as the prickles are deciduos, the end I had in view of introducing the culture of Cochineal may be accomplished; because although my Opuntias have not been planted out three months, they are already putting forth young leaves, on which I perceive a few of the last mentioned insects beginning to fatten. Having been solicitous however to attend to such respectable authority I have sent copies of the drawing and discription of the plant Sir Hans Sloane saw in Mr. Werley's garden in Jamaica, to Hydrabad and Bengal. I am with Edseem, Dear Sir, Your most Obedient and very Humble Servant JAMES ANDERSON. Fort St. George Feb. 20th 1787.
