138 FORTT-FIBST REPORT ON THE IStATE MuSEUM. 



During the year I have availed myself of opportunities offered, 

 in an endeavor to extend a knowledge of insect life and insect 

 habits in their economic aspects, in addresses made before the fol- 

 lowing societies and organizations : 



Western New York Horticultural Society at Bochester. 



New York Farmers' Club, New York city. 



Farmers' Institute, at Batavia. 



Farmers' Institute at Schenectady. 



Agassiz Association, Albany Chapter. 



Dana Natural History Society at Albany. 



Albany Institute. 



Troy Scientific Association. 



Torrey Botanical Club, New York city. 



Entomological Club of Amer. Assoc. Adv. Sci. 



American Pomological Society at Boston. 



In conclusion, I beg leave to present herewith the following: 

 Notices of insect attacks and miscellaneous observations ; a list of 

 the contributions made to the Department during the year ; and a 

 list of the publications of the Entomologist, for the same period, 

 which, while given mainly as a record of entomological literature, 

 may also serve to show some of the additional work of the Depart- 

 ment other than that presented elsewhere in the Report. 



EespectfuUy submitted.
