Publications. 



\s many of the cases of insect attack submitted to me for information 

 and advice were not confined to a single locality, but were of general 

 importance, I have usually in such instances availed myself m my 

 replies of the columns of agricultural and other journals, through which 

 the desired publicity might be given. The larger number of my com- 

 munications of this character have been contributed to the Country 

 Gentleman, published in this city — a leading agricultural journal ot 

 extensive circulation, reaching in its distribution nearly every State of 

 the Union, through one-seventh of the entire number of post-offices in 



the United States. , 



\s a record of work in this direction, and as a means of reference for 

 those who may desire to consult any of the articles, a list of my publi- 

 cations during the year is herewith given :

Remarks upon the interest attaching to the sexual characteristics of insects ;

 (not counting the head as one) is furnished with two rows of teeth, while the 

 Sale uniformly has but one (as have the two following segments in each sex).
