REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 



357 



for a purpose unknown. Much interesting information relating 

 to the insect was secured during its brief stay, from personal 

 observation, correspondence, and the public press, and it is a mat- 

 ter of regret that the more pressing duties of the office have not 

 left the time for the preparation of the material for presentation 

 in this report. 



The publications of the Entomologist during the year in agri- 

 cultural, scientific, and other journals, and society proceedings, are 

 38 in number. A list of them with brief summary of contents is 

 given in the Appendix, together with that for the preceding year 

 (62 in number), which was not included in the printed report for 

 that year, and also a list of some earlier entomological publica- 

 tions (1862-186tf). 



Three reports of the Entomologist have been published during 

 the present year, viz., for the years 1891 and 1892 (long delayed 

 by the State printer), and 1893, and are contained in the forty- 

 fifth, forty-sixth, and forty-seventh reports on the New York 

 State Museum. Separate editions on heavy paper of 700 copies 

 each, of the first two of these, have been printed for the use of 

 the ] Entomologist. These are entitled "Eighth Keport on the 

 Injurious and Other Insects of the State of New York for the 

 Year 1891 " (223 pages and 53 figures, issued in February, 1894), 

 and "Ninth Eeport on the Injurious and Other Insects of the 

 State of New York for the Year 1892," (211 pages and 34 figures, 

 issued in March, 1894). The " Report of the State Entomologist 

 to the Regents of the University of the State of New York for 

 the Year 1893" (of 24 pages, and issued in November, 1894), is 

 contained in the Forty-seventh State Museum Report, and a 

 small edition on ordinary paper, under the same title, has also 

 been printed separately .* 



* A few pages of this report have been reprinted in the present one.
