222 Season of 1816. 



square : in one night, many of these holes were filled 

 from two to three inches deep with worms. It is allow- 

 ed by many who saw them at different times, that there 

 were several bushels caught in one week, in these holes. 

 The worms were very large. There were many clover 

 fields destroyed in the vicinity of Kennett. There are 

 many different kinds of cut worms, and they undergo 

 different changes. The little blackish cut worm is trans- 

 formed into a -kind of dirty yellowish long legged fly, 

 which deposits its nits in the grass, or elsewhere. The 

 flies continue about three weeks and then disappear. 



Yours, &c.
