Sinopsis

Excerpt from Fifth 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 white grub,. Lachnosterna fusca (frolich), has inflicted much damage on pastures in Lewis county, by eating the roots of the grasses. On one farm, that of Mr. J. L. Seymour, near Lyons Falls Station, it had destroyed thirty acres of pasture, and its operations at the time the report was made, seemed to be spread ing to several other farms in the vicinity.

I regret that the very brief time that has elapsed between the printing of my fourth report (issued November twenty-third) and the presentation to your honorable board of the present one, has not permitted the more careful preparation and arrangement of the following pages which they would otherwise have received, and the introduction of some desired original illustration. I would, therefore, beg the indulgence of my fellow entomologists, and of those who may be familiar with most of the figures pre sented, so long as they will be new and serviceable to many of the agriculturists whom they will reach.
