Record of a series of experiments on the carnivorous 
habits of the species mentioned. Believes that the 
secreting glands of d/onaea and drosera serve by their 
color, etc., to attract prey (p. 351). Notes the behavior 
of released insects (p. 342). States, on the authority of 
Prof. Dewar, that the acid of the secretion is formic 
acid. W: T. (2628)

by the relative distribution of plants and insects, and 
translates a portion of F. Hildebrand’s ‘‘Ueber die
