A line drawn from the northwestern corner of Indiana diagonally 

 across the State to the Ohio line, at the southeast corner of Jay County, 

 will divide from the remainder of the State nearly all of twenty-four 

 counties over wbich the Chinch Bug is either unknown or occurs in too 

 limited numbers to cause serious damage. These are the counties enu- 

 merated in Tables A and B. As the numbers of counties from which I 

 have information of serious and wide-spread damage does not amount 

 to twenty-four, I have added others, in which we have observed con- 

 siderable numbers of Chinch Bugs, and filled out the number with coun- 

 ties situated in the infested district. These are enumerated in Tables 

 C and D.

 Chinch Bugs do not occur in destructive numbers.
