from further attacks of woodlice. The damage caused by these 

 woodlice is relative. The nest is generally laid in the junction 

 of two branches (V shaped, or forked). As the nest becomes larger 

 and heavier, the boughs bend, and at last split asunder which 

 makes the bark assume an unhealthy light yellow colour, and 

 causes the tree to languish and perish. Continual perseverance 

 and uninterrupted persecution of the insects in a plantation 

 diminishes obviously their numbers, though it does not cause 

 their entire disappearance.
