these attacks either under the names of the insects or those of the 
trees, because, on one hand, different kinds of insects have often been 
injurious at one time to one kind of tree; and, on the other, different 
kinds of trees have been infested by one kind of insect, as, for 
instance, by the Winter Moth. I have therefore classed them under 
the general heading of “Apple and Orchard Attacks,” and refer the 
reader to the index for guidance to special kinds. The inquiry, so far

caused by various kinds of moth-caterpillar, and two kinds of small 
IP beetles (weevils), of which one kind attacked orchard-leafage, and the 
other did damage, by means of its maggots, in Apple-buds. In some
