crop. have received many letters of in
qujry from our farmers, in some cases with
accompany ing specimens of the so-called
Colorado Bug, but am happy to state that
in no case tha> TAR have had Il specimen
OF the yoritable Colorado Bug sent me, and
have almost come to hope that all the re
ports as to their presence with us this sea-
son are Incorrect \ few years ago had
opportunity OF making examination OF a
list of the genuine Colorado Bugs. or DOry-
phOrG dcccna-hEcG,G of the entomologists,
which were from Kansas, and find that
their characteristics were SO marked. and
have been 50 clearly defined in the various
Agricultural Reports. that no one need he
in doubt. bat can readily satisfy himself
whether in any case this Colorado pest has
appeared In the Department Of Agricul-
ture Report for 1867. page 63 ; also in re-
port for 1870, page -, full accounts, with
accurate plates, may be found, from which
1t appears that Others have. like many of
our own people, COMPOUNDED several insects
in their reports The DOryphOrG deccm-
HRcata is about quarter of an inch wide
and three Fights OF an inch long. and has,
~ its name implies. ten black lines ex-
tending longitudinally along its wins-cOy-
rr-. These specimens sent me have been
thu>, of the common potato bug, the rava-
Us at which this year have been quite ex-
i.nsiye in some four towns OF our State.
But these are much smaller. more slender.
