Common among mai'joram {(Jnijanum rvh/arc) in July. 'I'lic 

 singidar larva was first detected by Mr. Jordan, in August, feeding 

 on the ilowers of the Oriipiiiniii, and constructing a case of Iho 

 blossom, hence very diHicult to distinguish from tlu; blossoms when 

 in its young state; as it increases in size, it enlarges its ease by 

 the addition of other ilowers, till by the middle of winter its case 

 will be found to consist of four or live Ilowers, inserted o\w in an- 

 other; it is then easily detected on the dry llowcr-heads by those 

 Avho have had a little practice. The case has not the complete 

 finish of a ColeopJtora case. 



How many similar instances of wonderful coidrivanee, lo ensure, 

 concealment, may yet remain undiscovered !
