Note

Entomological reports were resumed in 1882 by the state entomologist.
Appended to the 4th report is a reproduction of a rare tract: "Descriptions of new species of heteropterous Hemiptera of North America, by Thomas Say. New Harmony, Indiana. December, 1831." Of this publication only two copies were known to be extant; it was here republished from a transcript made for Dr. Fitch from one of these copies.
