Extract

British Guiana has not been invaded by migratory locusts since the year 1886, when, as far as it is possible to ascertain from the records of those bygone days, the same species of locust was implicated. Also, on the occasion of this previous attack, it seems very probable that a swarm first infested the North West and Pomeroon areas and, multiplying there, migrated further down the coast to Berbice.
