PUPJE] 



"February fill-dyke" will oppose many obstacles to the pupa hunter. 

 But it is hoped that the long list of species, many of them decidedly "good," 

 which will be found set forth as possible to be obtained this month, will 

 induce extra activity, and convert what might otherwise be only a simple 

 ramble for health sake, into a profitable, as well as health-giving, excursion.
