 nearly north to a little west of south. For two or three days a very few settled down 

 toward evening, disappearing next day." 



Burlington, Coffee County. — "A few locusts passed over from the north. Did not 

 observe any egg 3 laid." 



Burr Oak, Jewell County. — " The grasshoppers were seen flying over to the west of 

 north in the month of May. In the latter part of August grasshoppers flew from the 

 north to the south. A few came down, but did very little damage. The number was 

 not very great, not as many as x^assed over last year. The wind was in the north. 

 Some few locusts came down, enough to show that we were not deceived as to what 

 thev were." 



Centralia, Nemaha County. — "South-southwest; wind generally westerly or north- 

 westerly. Some flights very dense. Enough came down to satisfy me that they were 

 locusts "

 and 17th of September ; a few of them alighted and are here yet, but have done no 

 harm nor laid any eggs. Wind, on the 9th, was from northwest, and on the 17th from 

 northeast. Had rained the preceding nights." 



Clay Centre, Clay County. — " They flew from north to south till the 6th of October." 



Concordia, Cloud County. — "Considerable numbers passed over this county from 

 north-northeast or northwest, as the wind happened to be. Settled in ' spots.' Took, 

 occasional fields of corn. Went south or southeast. No eggs. A good many have lit 

 i 1 this vicinity recently, and some little damage has been done by them in places, 

 though not enough to make a fuss about. They have not staid long in anyplace; 

 only a few days at the longest ; and they do not seem hungry at all. Millions of the 

 little pests have been flying over this place for several days past." 



Cope, Jackson County. — " Some seen on several days from the north ; direction south- 

 west ; very high." 



JElk Cifn, Chautauqua Couniy. — "I did not see any locusts on the wing in any direc-
