ALPHABETICAL LIST 



OF 



FRUIT CROPS INFESTED BY INSECTS, 



WITH 



NAMES OF THE INSECT INFESTATIONS. 



lu the foliowing List the subjects are arranged alphabetically ; and 

 a,fter the name of each fruit tree or crop mentioned iu this volume, the 

 names of each of the infestations, to which it is liable in this country, 

 are given under subordinate headings, as of Bark, Floaver or Fruit, 

 Leaf, &c., according to the nature of the attack. The insects, it will be 

 seen, are given with their scientific as well as with their popular names 

 and also, ''so far as possible, arranged together as to kinds, as Aphides, 

 Beetles, Moths, ^^c. ; with the number of the page accompanying, refer- 

 ring to where the detailed observations of each kind of infestation is to 

 be found. 



Li a few instances, where some one kind of insect (as, for example, 

 Earwigs or Wasps) is injurious generally to fruit, the infestation is 

 entered under its own name, and not that of any tree or crop heading. 

 In the arrangement of observations in the volume, it has been a matter 

 of course, where the ravnges of any species of insect are confined wholly 

 or chiefly to any one kind of tree or crop, to give the observations 

 accordingly; as, for instance, the " Codlin Moth" and "Pear Gnat 

 Midge" are given under the headings respectively of Apple and Pear. 

 But where, as in the case of "Winter Moth," the ravages of some one 

 species of insect are injurious to manij kinds of fruit trees or crops, it 

 has seemed desirable to give the observations under the name of the 

 crop of which injury or treatment was chiefly reported; in this case to 

 Plum, to the extent of 80,000 trees. With this main reference, joined to 

 th" record in the following List, after each heading, of all kinds of insects 

 by which that fruit his been found infested, and also the mention in the 

 observations in the body of the volume of the various fruit trees or bushes 

 to which each insect has been observed to be injurious, it is hoped that 

 there will be no difficulty in identifications as they may be required.
