  REPORT 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  pare 
  the 
  systematic 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  list, 
  and 
  by 
  Dr. 
  E. 
  P. 
  Felt, 
  State 
  Ento- 
  

   mologist 
  of 
  New 
  York, 
  and 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  new 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  described, 
  

   some 
  of 
  which 
  will 
  undoubtedly 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  Mr. 
  Beuten- 
  

   muller 
  has 
  in 
  general 
  included 
  only 
  actual 
  records, 
  mostly 
  of 
  his 
  own 
  col- 
  

   lecting, 
  and 
  the 
  notes 
  on 
  food 
  plants, 
  etc., 
  are 
  his, 
  unless 
  otherwise 
  

   credited. 
  In 
  some 
  cases 
  galls 
  have 
  been 
  described, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  makers 
  

   are 
  yet 
  unknown, 
  and 
  these 
  are 
  separately 
  listed. 
  Dr. 
  Felt 
  has 
  kindly 
  

   supplied 
  additional 
  notes 
  from 
  his 
  breedings 
  and 
  studies, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   been 
  able 
  to 
  incorporate 
  all 
  his 
  systematic 
  suggestions. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  species 
  differ 
  so 
  widely 
  in 
  habit, 
  so 
  the 
  methods 
  of 
  dealing 
  with 
  

   them 
  are 
  diverse. 
  Insecticides 
  are 
  available 
  in 
  the 
  smallest 
  number 
  of 
  

   cases, 
  and 
  usually 
  it 
  is 
  some 
  change 
  in 
  cultural 
  method 
  that 
  must 
  be 
  

   relied 
  upon 
  to 
  prevent 
  injury.

  so 
  credited

  edition.
