 cality or ground to any extent. — [John Wise. 



Lincoln, Dodpe County. — No ; never did. — [Silas Garber. 



Omaha, Douglas County. — I have never heard of a single instance. During a period

 very rarely every other year.— [Ex- Gov. Alv. Saunders.

 damage. — [D. H. Wheeler.

Austin, Travis County. — No. I have not, to any great extent, in this locality. The 

 grasshoppers that came into this section in 1876 deposited their eggs in the same 

 ground that the 'hoppers that came in 1874 had chosen. The only difference was that 

 the eggs laid in 1876 were much more numerous. — [V. O. King.

 I have not. — [T. V. Munson. 



Headsrille, Robinson County. — Never, as to my own experience, but I have heard old 

 Texans say the Brazos countrv was visited two consecutive seasons, and eggs were 

 deposited each. The second visitation, however, was feeble. 



Hclofes, Bexar County. — For three consecutive years past there have been laid eggs 

 of the Rocky Mountain locust in the same locality and in the same ground; each time 

 ill very great numbers, yet in lc75 and 1876 they were more so than in 1874. This year
