6 BULLETIN NO. 2, DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY. 
though diligently looking for this particular locust, and inquiring of all 
settlers about it, they found comparatively few, and heard of nothing 
as to its injuries during the year. These facts, together with Mr. Bruner's 
full report, justify the belief that the Western farmers have little to fear 
from the inroads and devastations of this pest the present year, 1883. 
In the general correspondence of the Division there is frequently 
matter and experience of interest and importance both to agriculturists 
and to entomologists. In these bulletins, in the future, we propose to 
make use of such as would seem worthy of publication, giving both the 
letters and the replies thereto in as condensed form as possible.
