Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1870-71, Vol. 7 By a very singular coincidence, on the very day in October last when the clergymen of the Church of England were reading to their congregations that sublime description by Joel of the ravages of the locust, which formed part of the lessons for the day, a flight of locusts, new to Europe, was silently spreading itself over this island. On the Monday and Tuesday following the Sunday above-mentioned, two spe cimene of a species of locust were captured in the brewery yards of this town. These proved to be Acridium peregrinam of Olivier; a species not mentioned in any work upon European Orthoptera.
