Muscatine Island owes its existence to the character of the rock in the Iowa bluff. Whether the basin in which the Drift, under the Loess, rests was exea- vated in the rocks before the Glacial Epoch, during that time, or since, certain it is, the rocks were removed at least to the limestone which is below low water, the excavation filled fifty to sixty feet deep with loose material, on top of which is the Loess. and since then the river has returned from near the tops of the highest hills to its present place. It is doubtful if this could have occurred without a change of level. It seems to me the land must have subsided till the highest points were but little above the river.
Some stream, probably the Cedar, reaching into Northwestern Iowa, carried the same kind of water into this Loess Lake that renders the Missouri and its upper tributaries so famous. Here the mud gradually settled, as it does now in the reservoir in St. Louis from the water of the Missouri. Patches of Loess are known to exist at Clinton, Iowa City and Des Moines, and from twenty to fifty miles of the western border of Iowa was in the great Loess Lake of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.

HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY.
After the Loess was deposited, the final topographical features of the county began to appear. The river valleys and the picturesque bluffs are newer than the Loess. At no very distant day, the river, or a large branch of it, followed mainly the line of Muscatine Slough. The Sand Mound, the northern part of which is in the southeastern corner of the county, is, no doubt, a part of the debris of the sandstones crushed by the glaciers washed away by the river, or both. The loose material in the river bottoms of the county is alluvium. It is constantly being changed along the rivers from side to side. Rivers have a sort of pendulum motion, and the banks yield where they strike.
The geology of the county may be summarized as follows, in regard to Ages and Groups :
DEVONIAN AGE, Hamilton Group, seen along the Mississippi from the eastern border nearly to the city of Muscatine, on Pine Creek one mile above the mouth, and on the west branch of the same creek. about six miles from the mouth ; also on Cedar, near Moscow.
CARBONIFEROUS AGE, Coal-Measure Group, seen along the Mississippi from the eastern border to a point about two miles west of the city of Musca- tine, on Mad Creek about four miles from its mouth, on Pappoose Creek about two miles from its mouth, and on Lowe's Run. three or four miles west of Mus- catine.
QUATERNARY AGE, Drift, covering all the county except the Loess, men- tioned above, and the alluvium along the river bottoms.

The soft parts of the Unionidæ afford an abundance of bait for fishermen. The thick, heavy shells are capable of being made into a great variety of useful and ornamental objects. All our shell-bearing mollusks give lime to the soil. Broken shells were used by the primitive men of this county in making their earthen vessels, and shells held an important place with this people as an article of adornment. There is no evidence that our river- mollusks were ever used here as an essential article of food. I suppose the chief obstacle in the way of cultivating for the table, especially the Anodonta grandis, so abundant in Keokuk Lake, is the changeable character of our waters. Whether a fine, fat young grandis could ever get the reputation of oysters from Saddle-Rock or Far-Rockaway is a question for the " coming man" to solve.
PREHISTORIC REMAINS.
Along the bluffs of the Mississippi, in this county, generally in the most commanding positions, are great numbers of tumuli, or artificial mounds of earth. These vary from slight elevations, scarcely perceptible, to mounds ten feet high and fifty to one hundred feet across at the base. No particular order among them has yet been observed, except they are in groups of from fifteen to twenty- five each, or even more. The mounds in a group are, usually, not more than from fifty to one hundred feet apart. One group of small mounds is on Sec- tion 14, Township 77 north, Range 3 west, of the Fifth Principal Meridian. This is on the east bluff of the Cedar, and is the only group on this stream that has come to my notice in this county. With the exception of a few mounds on Section 22, Township 77 north, Range 1 east. all others, so far as I know, are on points of land on the Mississippi bluffs that would have been above the water in Loess time.
The exceptions referred to above are in a fine state of preservation, and stand on a bottom about eighty rods wide, a few feet above high water, and about forty rods from the Mississippi River. Comparatively little has been done to systematically explore the mounds of this county. Some earthen vessels, stone axes, arrow and spear points and plummet-like implements, made of hematite, have been taken from the mounds. Fragments of pottery, stone axes, etc., are frequently found along our ravines.
Whatever may have been the chief purpose of these mounds, it is certain some of their dead were buried in them. Human bones, generally almost like ashes, are common in the mounds. It is hardly possible that all the dead were put in mounds, as it is quite certain that many mounds contain each the remains of but two or three persons. When this ancient people flourished in this county, whence they came and whither they went, are questions over which the shadows of the past still hover. Some race or races of men lived along the borders of the great Missouri Lake in Loess time. Prof. Samuel Aughey, of Lincoln, Neb .. has found arrow and spear points in the Loess near Omaha, Sioux City, etc., along with the remains of the elephant and mastodon ; and Mr. F. F. Hilder, Secretary of the Archaeological Section of the St. Louis Academy of Science, in a recent letter to me, says : " About a year ago, I had

334
HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY.
the good fortune to find an arrow-head of black chert, very rudely formed, in the undisturbed Loess of this city, about six feet below the surface."
Twenty-two miles south of Muscatine, in and around the village of Tools- boro, in Louisa County, numerous mounds, larger than those of this county, have been carefully examined, and finely-wrought earthen vessels and pipes, also copper axes, awls, beads, and a sheet of that metal ; marine shells, now living in the Gulf, shell beads, and, probably, charred corn, have been exhumed. In the same vicinity, earthworks exist-in one instance, straight for over eighty rods, and, in another, circular, inclosing perhaps ten acres. These are nearly obliterated by cultivation. I call attention to these remains beyond this county only because that point appears to have been the center of strength and wealth for this region.
ENTOMOLOGY.
Aside from its scientific phase, the study of the insect-life of this region is one which is of great importance. The subject possesses limitless shades of interest to the careful observer, and is worthy of patient research. The Misses Walton, of Muscatine, have made a special study of this branch of science, and already have preserved a fine cabinet of specimens. Miss Alice B. Walton contributes to this volume the following paper relative to the entomology of Muscatine County, and, indirectly, that of the State :
" The study of the entomology of Iowa has been more neglected than that of any other department of its natural history. Hardly any data of the appearance or disappearance of its destructive and beneficial insects have been preserved, or, of what are known to science as 'insect years'; that is, sea- sons in which insects are the most abundant. These generally follow severe winters, with continuous cold weather, and also dry, warm springs, while a mild winter, or a cold, rainy spring, is as injurious to insect-life as it is to vege- tation. The winter of 1875-76 was an open one, and, during the summer of 1876, insects were, comparatively speaking, scarce. The winter of 1876-77 was cold, and the following summer was a good one for insect collectors. The winter of 1877-78 was one of the mildest on record, and, during the whole of the season, swarms of mosquitoes could be seen, on every warm day, flying along the edges of timber-land. Even small Lepidoptera were occasionally captured during the months of December and January. The succession of a number of very mild days would cause insects to be wholly or partially aroused from their torpidity, and the sudden changes of temperature would kill them. The next summer proved no exception to the general rule, and cabinets received but few valuable additions.
" The advent of new destructive species of insects, the amount of damage they are capable of and the present outlook as to the permanency or final extinction of such pests, form an interesting topic for general readers.
"'Destructive insects' are usually those which live upon vegetation, and are, as by a law of compensation, subject to depredation from so-called ' canni- bal insects.' The cannibals may be distinguished from the vegetable-feeders by the fact that the former are swift and rapid in their movements, while the lat- ter move with a slow and sluggish motion. Every true insect passes through four stages in the course of its lifetime. First, the egg ; second, the larva, which is the grub, maggot or caterpillar state; third, the pupa, during which most insects are torpid and incapable of eating, and fourth, the imago, or per- fect-winged state. Among the destructive insects, the chinch-bug (Rhyparo-
335
HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY.
chromus leucopterus, Say) first made its appearance in this county in 1844, when it produced in the wheat what was known among the early settlers as ' spot.' These 'spots' were from one foot to several rods in diameter in the fields of standing grain. A few days before the wheat was ripe, it would turn white and become blighted. On examination, the cause proved to be this bug, the worst foe with which the Western grain-grower contends. Its ravages have been severe. It did the most damage from about 1850 to 1865, and, during these fifteen years, fully one-third of the wheat crops in this section of Iowa were lost. For the past few years, however, it has troubled the small grain but little. The corn never suffered as much from its depredations as the wheat. But, happily, the chinch-bug has several insect-foes, prominent among which are two species of a small beetle called in common parlance lady-bug or lady-bird. The spotted lady-bug (Hippodamia maculata, De Geer) is red, spotted with black, and the trim lady-bug (Coccinella munda, Say) is rather light yellow. Both of these are found in this county, and probably several smaller species also thrive here. All of these should be respected and protected by every one, as they are almost universally found among the antagonists of destructive insects.
" The locust borer ( Clytus robinice, Forrester) was first observed as causing damage to the locust-trees, sometime about the year 1850. It is a black beetle, gayly barred and marked with yellow. It is about an inch long, and may be found during the month of September, on the trunks of the locust or among the blossoms of the golden-rod. The boring of the larvæ in the locust trunks has completely abolished the cultivation of that tree in this county.
" In the years 1864 and 1865, there appeared a most unwelcome visitor, the Colorado potato-bug (Doryphora decemlineata, Say), and immediately every inventive genius turned his faculties toward discovering a method for its sub- jugation.
" Many a boy has spent the summer mornings with a tin pan in one hand and a stick in the other, going from hill to hill, 'bugging' the potatoes, knocking the bugs into the pan, and burning or scalding them. Finally, a mixture of twelve parts of flour to one of Paris green, sprinkled on the vines in the morning, in the dew, proved the most effective manner of warfare.
" For the first two or three years after their appearance, many of the potato- fields were entirely devastated. Not only the potatoes were eaten, but also every weed that grew among them. Now, however, man and the natural insect- enemies, of which more than a score can be named (among them the lady-bug), seem to have gained the supremacy, and the damage done at present is little or nothing compared to what it was ten years ago. It may entirely disappear from this locality, but, in all probability, there will always be a few survivors found here.
"In 1875, the maple-tree louse (Lecanium acericola) first infested the maple- trees at Muscatine, in numbers sufficient to injure them. Previous to that time, the maple had been extensively used as a shade-tree, but subsequently the insect has destroyed more than three-fourths of those trees in the city, and the tree is no longer cultivated for its shade. Elms have been generally substituted. The louse appeared around Davenport as early as 1868, and even now is not found in the country around Muscatine, but is confined to the city. This insect has at least one known enemy, our little friend the lady-bug.
" A small plant-louse (Phylloxera vitifolic, Fitch) attacks several varieties of grapes. As yet, no practical damage has been reported from this cause, although it seems to be acquiring a greater range in the variety of its food. It
336

is a native insect, indigenous with the wild frost grape. Among the tame varieties of grapes. it prefers the Clinton. Delaware and a small white hybrid. Last season, it was observed on the Isabel. This is the same Phyllorera which causes so much trouble in Southern France. It was imported into France from America.
" The cut worms are the larva of a nocturnal genus ( Ayrotis) of Lepidoptera. Quite a number of species of this genius are to be found in this county. A new species, working in the corn, was reported last summer.
". Every seventeen years, we are visited by what are commonly miscalled · locusts' (Cicada septendecim. Linn.). This insect appeared here in 1837. 1854, 1571 and will appear in 1888. They are not found on the prairie, but are in the timber-lands. The early settlers claim that the brood of 1837 was larger than any subsequent one. The clearing of the timber-land may be the cause of their deerease. Of their habits. Walsh remarks that more has prob- ably been written concerning them than of any other insect.
.. The white grubs first began to seriously damage meadow-lands about 1877. They are the larva of the May beetle ( Lachnosterna quercina, Knoch).
" There are many other destructive insects found in this locality, but these are the principal species. A large number of useful and beneficial inseets can be taken here, but blessings are often passed unheeded. and many of these. at present. remain in oblivion. They are, for the most part. small parasites, and the classes of insects known as cannibals. Their habits and history have not received the study and attention which have been given to their more unworthy relatives.
" Of the sub-orders of insects, the Coleoptera. or beetles, and the Lepidop- tera, or seale-winged insects, such as butterflies and moths. have been studied here more thoroughly than the remaining five.
" It may be interesting to state a few facts and call attention to some of the common species of the winged beauties. For the sake of convenience. Lepi- doptera have been divided into three large groups called Diurnal. Crepuscular and Nocturnal. The Diurnal are the butterflies, which belong to the daytime. The Crepuscular are the sphinges and twilight Hiers. The Nocturnal are the moths which fly at night. Part of the moths and sphinges tly in the daytime. So that this classifieation is not. strictly speaking. technical, but merely. as before stated. for convenience.
" Among the most common Diurnals we have the small. yellow butterfly (Colias philodice. Godart) familiar to every one': the white butterfly ( Pieris pro- todice, B. and L.), the imago of the cabbage-worm which is quite injurious to that erop : the Danias archippus. llarr .. that large brown and black butterfly which is seen in its beauty and perfection in the fall. when it migrates south- ward. often in great numbers. These three are the most numerous.
" The very large magnificent yellow, marked with black, butterfly. commonly called the yellow swallowtail. is Papilio turnus. Linn. It expands from three to four inches, and is seen in June and July, flying through woods and orchards and hovering about lilaes. We have several other species of Papilio, black marked with different colors, which are not easily distinguishable on the wing.
" The Lanesea antiopa. Linn .. is also rather common in this county. It expands from two and one-half to three mehes. Its wings are purplish brown above with a yellow border, just inside of which is a row of blue spots. This insect has a great taste for rotten apples.
" The Crepuscular-the Sphinges-are those large, narrow-winged, heavy- bodied. Lepidoptera that hover over flowers in the twilight. extracting the

honey through their long maxilla or 'tongues,' which are hollow like a tube, and in some species is four inches long. It is common to hear these insects called .evening humming-birds,' from the resemblance of the motion of their wings to that of the humming-bird. But they are not birds, they are Sphinges. Some of the handsomest of these are the imagoes of the tobacco and tomato worms.
" The common or the marked Nocturnals are difficult to point out, because of their nocturnal habits. There are five found here which are large and hund- some. Telea polyphemus. Linn., is a very light brown. Ou each secondary or hind wing, is a blue, black, and yellow eyelike spot with a transparent pupil. On each primary or front wing, is also found another transparent spot edged with yellow. It expands about five inches, and its larva feed on the oak. Samia cecropia, Linn., is the largest insect we have. Two specimens in our collection, which were hatched from cocoons, measure six and three-quarters and nearly seven inches, respectively. The average expansion is about six inches. Its colors are gray-brown, dull red, black and white. A wavy, white line crosses each wing, and also near the center of each is a large white spot. Near the tip of each primary is an eye-like spot. The body is dull red, striped with white.
" Saturnia Jo. Harr., and Callosamia promethea, Drury, are both found here, though quite rare. Saturnia Io is light brown. Expands two inches and has a large eye-like spot on each secondary. Callosamia promethea expands about three inches. The male is dark bluish brown. The female has a very light reddish brown tint.
" The Actias luna, Linn., is a pale-green moth. It expands about four inches. It has a transparent eye-spot in the center of each wing, and the two secondaries are each prolonged into a tail, which gives it a peculiar appearance. Perfect specimens are hard to obtain. These five are not the most common, but the largest. The great majority of the Nocturnals are small, some of them expanding less than half an inch.
" In giving an account of our local Entomology, only a few points can be dwelt upon. There are many other interesting facts that could be enumerated but of necessity must be omitted. In order to give some idea of the Lepidop- tera that can be found here, the following, though imperfect, list is given. It does not, in all probability, contain one-half which could be collected in this county.
