BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LOCUSTS OF AMERICA. 



[At the request of the Commission, Mr. B. Pickman Maun, of Cambridge, Mass., has 

 been kind enough to prepare a bibliography of locust literature for all countries. We 

 are, unfortunately, obliged to omit that part pertaining to other countries than Amer- 

 ica, for the reasons stated in the Preface, and for the further reason that the Govern- 

 ment Printing Office has no Russian type. The bulk of it will, however, be found in 

 Hagen's "Bibliotheca entomologica " and in Koppen's "Ueber die Heuschrecken in 

 Siidrussland". Those references preceded by an asterisk (*) have been verified by Mr. 

 Mann ; those with a dagger (t), by Dr. Hagen.]
