An object of interest at the bureau of
entomology just at present is col
lection Of egg clusters of the gypsy
moth which were deposited by moths
raised at the bureau. and which are
probably the first egg clusters to be
secured from moths in captivity IN the
state. The moths which laid the eggs
were raised in an incubator at the
bureau and were secured from cater
pillars which had been collected IN the

them having been taken from the trees

Home at Togus. That the caterpll-
lars Of that district were vigorous ana
