After I had taken my little Ti/iula, I unfortunately loft it. I had 

 faftened it upon a piece of paper with gum water, and left it for a 

 time in an open box, that the gum might dry. I fuppofe fome 

 other infect took that opportunity to devour it ; for when I returned 

 to put it to a place of greater fecurity, it was gone, and ever fince I 

 have watched in vain for the difclofure of another.
