WHO LIVES IN CECROPIA COCOONS ? In looking over a mass of 

 cccropia cocoons, I was surprised by finding scores of the tiny, pearl- 

 gray, globular cocoons of Chrysopa attached to all parts of the out- 

 side of the looser cocoons of eccropia. The flies emerged, most of 

 them, within two days of my bringing the cocoons to a warm room. 

 A fine Ichthyura apicalis emerged from one of the medium-sized 

 cocoons, and a little dead beetle tumbled out of another which I was 

 cutting open. Two or three small egg-masses of spiders were just 

 inside the loose mouths of small cocoons. It would be interesting to 

 know what creatures winter in cecropias door-ways. CAROLINE GRAY
