observation, perhaps remaining in the chimney, or being over- 

 looked in the registers, etc. 



The preference of the maggots for the oriental rugs rather 

 than the Wilton was probably due to the softer texture of the 

 lower side of the former, and the greater rigidity and weight of 

 the latter. Possibly additional reason may be found in the 

 character of the dyes used, which are said to be very largely of 

 vegetable origin in the oriental rugs. To determine if this was 

 also a factor experimentation would be necessary. 



It is needless to say that assurance was given that there was 

 little likelihood of a repetition of the disagreeable occurrence.
