Excerpt from Fourth Report of 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
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 crops to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars, should be longer feared by hop-growers.

Excerpt from Forty-First Annual Report: Of the Trustees of the State Museum of Natural History for the Year, 1887
To the Legislature of the State of New York:
The Regents of the University, as trustees of the State Museum of Natural History, submit their forty-first annual report.
Included with this report will be found the report of the Director, together with the reports of the State Botanist, the State Entomologist and the State Geologist. The trustees refer to these reports for details of the operations of the Museum during the past year.
The Museum has been materially increased by the addition to its collections of the important and beautiful collection of minerals and gems purchased from Mr. George F. Kunz. This collection is one of the most perfect to be found in any American Museum. It has been arranged in the office rooms on the right hand of the entrance from State street.
The Zoological collections have been restored and fitted in new cases during the past year. The restoration had become necessary on account of the condition of many of the specimens. In some cases the original specimens were of an imperfect character and they had become still more decayed and dilapidated by the ordinary causes which prevail in every museum. In other cases the specimens were deficient in one of the sexes, showing only in many cases the male sex. The whole collection has been examined and the imperfect specimens removed by Prof. Henry A. Ward, of Rochester, N.Y. There are still a considerable number of deficiencies which it is hoped may be filled during the coming year. The cases, which occupied the center of the Zoological collection in the third story, have been renewed and made to conform to the cases that were already there; on the whole the entire Zoological collection has been greatly improved and, especially, when the deficiencies above referred to are supplied, it will make an interesting and an important part of the Museum collections.
No material progress has been made during the past year in fitting up the room in the State Hall for the purpose of the Museum.
