K iL, 2 respectable Swedish naturalist,
who travelled thro’ a pamber of these
states inf the years 1748 and 1749, says the
1.ocusts, which appear about every seven
teen years, are followed the next year by
Caterpillars—and the succeeding year by
what he calls Grass Worms. Those who
are curious on subjects of natural history
will bear this remark in mind, with a view
to ascertain the fact. Ir. is by observati-
ons of this kind that correct information is
substituted for vague opinion, and vulgar
error. Mr. Kim informs us that there
were immense numbers of Locus ts in Penn-
gylvania, in the vicinity of Philadelphia, iu
the month of May, 1749 ; and it they retur-
ned every 17 years, they would of course
appear in 1766, 1783, 1800, and 1817.—
