42 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
. 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 consider one of the 
best hooks ever issued on the subject. We refer to the Report 
of the New Jersey State Board of Agriculture, entitled “Insects 
of New Jersey,” by John B. Smith, Sc.D., State Entomologist, 
of the Agricultural College Experiment Station, at New Bruns¬

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

State Museum. lie has prepared the thirty-one cases now ex¬ 
hibited in the Museum. He is still preparing others which will 
from time to time be added to the present exhibit.

the New 7 Jersey State Museum.

him in making the collection. 
These specimens are about three and one-half feet long, 
and nearly all were found in. or near Gloucester county. 
A few came from (’amden and Salem counties. They were sent
