The records remain, emphasised by the actual losses inflicted, and not infrequently by more serious misfortunes.
68 ANIMAL ARTISANS It will be remembered that the plague of locusts recorded in the Book of Exodus was almost im- mediately followed by the death of the first-born, and in the Middle Ages a locust invasion of the North or West was regarded as one of the regular precursors of great pestilences.
In 1528 there appeared in the Mark of Branden- burg, during the prevalence of a south-east
...wind and a great drought, swarms of locusts, "as if this prognostic too of great epidemics was not to be wanting, " says Hecker. This "prognostic" had been observed before the Black Death in the four- teenth century, the beginning of the " morbific conditions" in the Far East having been innumerable locust swarms, which destroyed the crops in Hunan, and caused the famine which pestilence followed.
Locusts appeared in Franconia in incredible swarms in 1337, and the celebrated "stinking mists" which spread over Italy at the time of the Plague in 1348 were made worse by the odour of putrefying locusts, " which had spread from the East to the West.
