*As this record is the first of its kind to be taken in Canada, it would 

 be well to state the details. Two or three years ago an egg cluster on 

 imported ornamental stock from Holland closely resembled the egg 

 cluster of the much dreaded Gipsy Moth. The eggs failed to hatch, 

 so no definite determination was made. — \V. H. L.
