*This name is proposed in consideration of the preference which the caterpillar shows 

 for the Linden (even above the Elm), as was seen in its devastations of the Lindens in New 

 York city and Brooklyn during at least twenty-five years preceding 1861, when as a means 

 of arresting the nuisance the following resolution was presented to the Common Council 

 of Brooklyn : — 



"Resolved, That the owners of property having Linden trees on the streets are hereby 

 ordered to remove them within ten days after the passage of this ordinance, and failing to 

 do so, shall be liable to a fine of five dollars for each tree left on the streets, after that date. 

 The street commissioner is hereby directed to remove all trees of that species that may be 

 left on the streets after that date." 



The resolution was referred to the Health Committee and Health Officer of the Common 

 Council, who presented a report (of which 1,000 copies were printed), entitled. Report | 

 on the I Measure Worm, | or the | Geometra niveosericearia [Jones], | which | infest the 

 trees of Brooklyn; | suggesting | remedies for their extermination. | By Joseph B. Jones, 

 M. D., ; Health Officer. | Health Department, June 1, 1861. | [Seal of City] | Brooklyn; 

 I 1861. I 8vo., pp.19. 



As the caterpillars were found by the investigations of the above Committee, aided by a 

 Committee of the Brooklyn Sanitary Association, and a Committee appointed at a public 

 meeting of the citizens, to feed upon other shade-trees, several remedies for the nuisance 

 were recommended, in lieu of the measure proposed in the above resolution.
