  The 
  notable 
  entomological 
  event 
  of 
  the 
  year 
  (1896) 
  for 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  

   New 
  York, 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  occurrence 
  and 
  severe 
  ravages 
  of 
  the 
  army-worm, 
  

   Leucania 
  unipuncta, 
  over 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  State. 
  This 
  insect 
  is 
  a 
  

   quite 
  common 
  species, 
  which 
  is 
  widely 
  distributed 
  over 
  the 
  country. 
  

   When 
  but 
  moderately 
  abundant 
  it 
  is 
  but 
  rarely, 
  if 
  ever, 
  noticed 
  by 
  the 
  

   farmer; 
  occasionally, 
  however, 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  are 
  so 
  numerous 
  and 
  de- 
  

   structive 
  as 
  to 
  create 
  much 
  alarm 
  and 
  lead 
  to 
  many 
  wild 
  surmises 
  as 
  to 
  

   their 
  origin. 
  

  

  Unprecedented 
  Ravages 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  The 
  abundance 
  of 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  and 
  the 
  damage 
  by 
  them 
  to 
  the 
  

  

  crops 
  throughout 
  the 
  State 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  greater 
  than 
  had 
  ever 
  

  

  been 
  observed 
  before. 
  Previous 
  ravages 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  i^ 
  the 
  State 
  have 
  

  

  been 
  confined 
  to 
  limited 
  portions, 
  but 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  destruc-
