Specimen of the leather-like material formed by insects over 

 Indian maize, when laid up in store in Mexico. Presented by 

 W, F. Evans, Esq. The insect was stated by Percy Doyle, Esq. 

 by whom the production in question was brought to this country, 

 to be about the size of an ant, and black. The coating is at first 

 very thin, but it is spun over by degrees till it becomes of the 

 thickness of stout leather. Some of the insects ate their way out 

 of a mahogany box in which they were placed.
