APPENDICES. 



The following appendices embody a large number of data collected by the Commis- 

 sion during the year, as well as its more important correspondence, special reports, 

 classified answers to circulars, list of correspondents, bibliography, etc., etc. They 

 comprise very many interesting and important facts and experiences upon which we 

 have drawn for our generalizations, and which will always be valuable for future 

 reference. Yet to have incorporated them into the main text of the report would have 

 swelled the bulk of the volume to unwieldy dimensions. The miscellaneous data from 

 the different States have mostly been arranged chronologically, and form a detailed 

 history of locust injury in 1877. The replies to circulars have generally been classified 

 to facilitate reference, and also arranged by States. When no other authority for a 

 fac^, statement, or report is given, it is to be understood as taken from the correspond- 

 ence of the Commission.
