Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Report on the Noxious, Beneficial and Other Insects, of the State of New York: Made to the State Agricultural Society, Pursuant to an Appropriation for This Purpose From the Legislature of the State Executive Committee of the New-York State Agricultural Society: I herewith submit a Report upon the Noxious and other Insects of the State of New-York, particularly such as are injurious to fruit trees, pursuant to your instructions, delivered to me in May last. I also present specimens of the several insects herein described, and of the vegetation as depredated upon by them, from which drawings may be taken for illustrating this report, and which are thereafter to be deposited in the Entomological department of the Museum of the Society. It has been common in treatises upon economical entomology, to arrange the several species in their scientific order. Although this mode of arrangement has its advantages, it presupposes such an acquaintance with scientific entomology as but very few individuals in our country possess. A person who meets with a worm, say, mining a cavity in the leaves of the apple tree, and consuming their parenchyma, knows not whether that worm is the larva of a Coleopterous, a Lepidopterous, or some other Order of insects, and consequently is at a loss in what part of a work upon noxious insects, arranged in the usual manner, to look for an account of it.
