Excerpt from Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Crop Pests: During the Year 1883, With Methods of Prevention and Remedy In offering my Seventh Yearly Report to the contributors who have favoured me with notes of observation, I once again beg them to accept my sincere thanks for their very serviceable information. Further, I should be doing wrong in not acknowledging the great obligations I am under both to the agricultural and general press not only in encouragement of my endeavours, but also in drawing attention to the great importance of the subject of practicable agricultural measures being often available at a paying rate to save the field crops from attack, or carry them through it. I also gratefully acknowledge the kind assistance I have received from Professor J. O. Westwood, Life President of the Entomological Society, Mr. R. H. Meade, and Mr. G. B. Buckton in naming specimens I was unacquainted with. To all I tender my hearty thanks, and earnestly request their continued kind assistance. The most severe attacks of the past season of 1883 have (chiefly) been those of Fly-maggots and grubs of various sorts. Daddy Longlegs grubs were a general trouble, so were Cabbage and Turnip-root maggots, and likewise the maggots of the Celery and Parsnip Leaf-miner, and in some places those of the Mangold Leaf-miner. More information is much needed as to the means of prevention and remedy of these four kinds of attacks, and also as to the reasons of the prevalence of the last two.
