expense to propagate The beetle eats
the shell. leaving the egg enclosed only
by the film, rendering it unhabltable.
Inexactness in statement of detail is
likely to render this scientific informa-
ton of Colonel Murdoch valueless. To he
exact. the beetles only eat the shells in
the months between November 1 ana
April !. During that period the outer
covering of the eggs is galvanized iron
and is. therefore. considered a great deli
cacy by the beetles. During the sum

gest.
