are great treats for a naturalist, but at the same time they add new labors!

I expect to be at least three weeks on the trip, and during this time I will not hear from home. A steamer is expected on the 17th direct from New York. Possibly it will bring letters from home that would be a little less than a month old when they arrived. They will be more than two weeks older than this when I shall receive them.

When my present trip is over I may go up to Bolivia, or I may not, just as circumstances seem to demand. If I go there will be another month of no news from home. If not, I wll take two or three trips of a week to each of the south and west to see some of the country in those directions.

At present there seem to be only three locusts in all of Argentina — only about one-tenth as many of them as there were last year at this time. They are also quite sickly and worn in appearance, and have not yet laid eggs so far as we can learn. If they do not begin to do so soon it will be too late for them to do any harm to
