I herewith present a supplemental report of the New-York 
State Agricultural Society, being the report on Noxious, Benefi¬ 
cial, and other Insects, made by Asa Fitch, M. D., the entomo¬ 
logist employed by the society in pursuance of the appropriation 
made by the Legislature, at its last annual session, for an exami¬ 
nation and description of the insects of the State, particularly 
such as are injurious to vegetation. 
This report was not completed at the time the annual report 
was presented, and it is desired that it be printed in connection 
with that report, of which it is designed as a part. 
I am, very respectfully yours, 
B. P. JOHNSON,
