B S. in Lib. Journ., Dec. 1879, v. 4, p. 457. In CI.OSIKG upon this subject, I desire to ac- knowledge the very generous offer of our State Entomologist, Hon. Cyrue Thomas, of Carbon- dale, of an entomological treatise upon the in- sects injurious to agriculture, stripped of all teehnicd phrases, and, hence, adapted to the uses of the common people. In my judgment, a paper of the character proposed, has for many years Iwen especially needed, ae the reports hith- erto published on that subject have been couched in language beyond the comprehension of the average farmer or fruit grower. It would he well for the Board to take Rome action with re- gard to its publication in ow next volume of reports."-Pres. D, B. GSLham, in Trow, dept. +c. III., for 1877, 1878, v. 15, [n. s., Y. 7,J p. 9.
