Sivu 24 - That not a natural flower can grow on earth, Without a flower upon the spiritual side, Substantial, archetypal, all a-glow With blossoming causes,— not so far away, That we, whose spirit-sense is somewhat cleared, May not catch something of the bloom and breath,- Too vaguely apprehended, though indeed Still apprehended, consciously or not.
Sivu 169 - Canada, reported at the meeting of the Entomological Club of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at...
Sivu 207 - Paris green, it is hoped that they have been pretty well exterminated. Through the kindness of Acton Burrows, Esq.. the efficient Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Manitoba, I have received information of the appearance of this pest in the counties of Manchester and Dufferin, in the same Province, but in none of these localities has the insect yet made much headway. Grape growers in some sections of Ontario suffered much early in the season from injuries caused by the grape-vine flea-beetle, Graptodera...
Sivu 173 - Carpocapsa pomonella Linn. Prof. Fernald himself was opposed to such a change. Dr. Morris suggested that Linne's names be left as he made them. 5. To what extent should the law of priority be made use of ? Shall we make use of the oldest name, even if the species has been known under another for a long time ? If not, for how long a time must a name universally or generally be in use to take precedence over an older name ? The sentiment of the meeting was strongly expressed that so much discussion...
Sivu 14 - Fitch says, in spite of a previous assertion that the insect never miscalculates, that — in at least three-fourths of the fallen limbs no worm is to be found; and an examination of them shows that the insect perished at the time the limb was severed and before it had excavated any burrow upward in its center, no perforation being present except that leading into the lateral twig. It is probable that in many instances the limb broke when the insect was in...
Sivu 19 - This work is the seventh of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections of natural history and ethnology belonging to the United States and constituting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1846.
Sivu 151 - ... sometimes extended, especially when feeding, and as they eat away the entire leaf, cutting away at the edges or at the holes entirely through the leaf, they obtain any poisonous substance sprinkled or dusted on the upper surface. When young they usually keep pretty well clustered together or on the same leaf, but later scatter quite generally, the early clustering being due no doubt to the eggs being laid near together and on the same leaf. The worms moult at least three or four times before...
Sivu 45 - Soft yielding minds to water glide away, And sip, with nymphs, their elemental tea. The graver prude sinks downward to a gnome In search of mischief still on earth to roam. The light coquettes in sylphs aloft repair, And sport and flutter in the fields of air.
Sivu 211 - Ottawa resolved to appoint a select committee to enquire into the best means of encouraging and developing the agricultural industries of Canada. Circulars were prepared by the committee, embracing a series of questions, which were sent to most of the prominent agriculturists and scientific men in the Dominion, to which several hundred replies were received. The practical bearing of entomology on agriculture was fully recognised by the committee, and the questions so framed, that a very large amount...
