The Commissioners hope and believe that it will form an invaluable record, for future reference and use, of all that is at present known of so important a subject. Our work was ordered primarily for the benefit of the farmers of the locust-stricken country, and we have endeavored to present with great est prominence those features of the subject most important from the practical and economic stand-point. There is, however, matter of a more or less scientific and technical nature invariably connected with investigations like that we are charged with, and the report would, in our judgment, be incomplete were such matter omitted. In order to better enable the reader who cares little or nothing for such technical details to pass over them, they are printed in smaller type than the text. We have divided the locust area into three regions, which we have called, respectively, the Permanent, the Subpermanent, and the Temporary. AS these terms will be frequently used for the sake of precision and conciseness in the body of the Report, we here call the attention of the reader to Map 1, on which they are represented. In order to prevent the volume from becoming too bulky, we have been obliged to shorten some of the concluding chapters, and to omit entirely an elaborate bibliography of locust literature in other countries, prepared for us by Mr. B. P. Mann, of Cambridge, Mass, as also a de scriptive paper on the locusts of the Pacific slope, by Mr. S. H. Scudder.
