Excerpt from Insects Injurious to Forest Trees The difference between the sexes in the adult stage is strikingly shown by com paring in plate I, figure 2, an illustration of the male, with figure 3, a representation of the female. The former is a beautiful moth with large, feathery antennae, tufted legs, and the wings and body delicately marked with several 'shades of gray and grayish white. On the other hand, the female is a 'nearly uniform gray, with simple antennae, and but rudimentary wings.

Excerpt from Insects Injurious to Forest and Shade Trees The larva obtains its food from the small vegetable radicals that everywhere per vade the fertile earth. It takes its food from the surface of' these roots, consisting of the moist exudation (like animal-perspiration), for which purpose its rostrum or snout is provided with three exceedingly delicate capillaries or hairs, which project from the tube of the snout and sweep over the surface, gathering up the minute drops of moisture. This is its only food. The mode of taking it can be seen by a good glass. Prairie Farmer, December, 1851.

Excerpt from Insects Injurious to Fruits It has been the aim of the author of this work to bring together all the important facts relating to insects known to be injurious to fruits in all parts of Canada and the United States, to add to the information thus obtained the knowl edge he has acquired of the habits and life-history of many of our insect pests by an experience of over twenty years as a fruit-grower and a student of entomology, and to pre sent the results in as concise and plain a manner as possible, avoiding all scientific phraseology except such as is necessary to accuracy. The arrangement adopted under the several headings, by which the insect pests which attack the different parts of the tree or vine under consideration are grouped together, will, it is hoped, with the aid of the illustrations, greatly facilitate the determination of any injurious species. When having before him its history brie y traced and the remedies which have been found most useful in subduing the insect, the reader will at once be enabled to decide as to the best meth ods to be employed. The author desires to make the fullest acknowledgment to those of whose work he has availed himself.

Excerpt from Fourth Report on the Injurious and Other Insects of the State of New York: Made to the Regents of the University, Pursuant to Chapter 355 of the Laws of 1883 The eggs are deposited on the twigs of plum trees in the autumn (october). They hatch at the putting out of the leaves the following spring. Three generations follow on the plum, of which the last only is winged, which at once migrates to the hop - yards. The fourth and the succeeding generations on the hop, to the eleventh inclusive, are Wingless females. The twelfth generation consists of winged males and females - the latter, agamic, and these return to plum trees in September. Here the thirteenth generation is composed of sexual Wingless females, which, after mating, deposit the eggs which are to hatch the following spring, in continuation of the species. For a detailed statement of the above, see a communication made by Mr. L. 0. Howard, of the Division of Entomology, under instructions from Professor Riley, in the Country Gentleman, for November 17, 1887, page 875, giving also the latest studies of Professor Riley upon the insect, made in England during the present autumn. Now that the winter abode of the hop-aphis has been ascertained to be on plum trees, in the egg state, thereby, to a certain extent, bringing it within our reach (some entomologists are not yet willing to concede that it does not, in part, hibernate in the soil of hop yards), it may with propriety be claimed that the practical outcome of the investigation is very great. But it is to be feared that our worthy Commissioner of Agriculture, who has lent the aid of his department to this investigation, has been over sanguine in his announcement in his report of the present year, that there is now no reason why this pest, which last year damaged the crow to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars, should be longer feared by hop - growers.

Excerpt from Some Insects Injurious to Garden and Orchard Crops: A Series of Articles Dealing With Insects of This Class Under the comprehensive title, Some Insects Injurious to Garden and Orchard Crops, the writer has brought together a series of arti cles bearing upon insects of this class. These are in continuation of work begun in previous years, the results of which have found expres sion in Bulletin N o. 10, in the Yearbooks for 1896 and 1898, and else where, and are based upon observations conducted, for the most part, during the year 1898.
