FEBRUARY 



OVA] 



Some of the bright days which sometimes occur during this'month, when 

 apparently, 



"Winter storms have ceased to chide, " 



will be found particularly suitable for egg searching, as it will generally be yet 

 too early to do much with larvae, or imagos. The eggs obtainable last month, 

 and which still remain unhatched, are repeated under this, and succeeding 

 months, until they hatch ; so that the work to be done in this department can 

 be clearly seen.
