The process can easily be imitated with the fingers. The egg 

 is yellow, and nearly circular ; a single one occurs in each 

 bundle. Sometimes two insects occur on a leaf, but in this 

 instance the male appears to have surprised the female in the

 are attacked. The insect also eats the leaf for its own 

 subsistence. It is nearly fourteen years since the insect was 

 so abundant as during the present season.
