Extract

Our President has asked me what methods I adopted for the raising of C. jutta from the egg. I will endeavour of describe them.

As it is well known the larvæ of the genus Chionobas feed on grasses, my first care was to determine what grasses were to be found in the haunts of Jutta, and to notice the circumstances under which they grew. I found several, all rooted in the sphagnum of the swamp. I took home roots of ever kind, and potted them in sphagnum, being careful to close the hole in the bottom of each flower pot with a cork, and to soak the plants throughly with rain water.
