Extract

The official publication of Bulletin 4, “The Hessian Fly,” by Dr. A. S. Packard, for the N. A. Entom. Commission, has induced me to study again the question of the importation of this insect by Hessian troops at an early period of the war. The excellent memoir by Dr. A. Fitch was believed to have settled this question in a final manner; therefore his opinion was accepted by all subsequent American writers.
