MORE INFORMATION. 
To those wishing more information about the insects of 
New Jersey, how to distinguish them, how to destroy them, 
or how to study them, we would refer them to what we con¬ 
sider one of the best books ever issued on the subject. We 
refer to the Report of the New Jersey State Board of Agricul¬ 
ture, entitled “ Insects of New Jersey/ ’ by John B. Smith, 
Sc.D., State Entomologist, of the Agricultural College Experi¬ 
ment Station, at New Brunswick, N. J. It is a supplement 
to the Twenty-seventh Annual Report of the State Board of 
Agriculture. 
Every farmer and horticulturist in the State should have a 
copy of it, if it can be procured. Professor Smith, the author 
of it, has charge of the insect or entomologist department of 
the State Museum. He has prepared the thirty-one cases 
now exhibited in the Museum. He is still preparing others 
which will from time to time be added to the present exhibit.
