The Clonus 



We will confine ourselves to stating the 

 problem of the Cionus, without much hope 

 that some day it will be clearly solved. For 

 that matter, if the truth be told, it may be 

 that there is no problem at all. The grub of 

 the Cionus was a vagabond in the beginning 

 and a vagabond it will remain, among the 

 other Weevil-grubs, which are all essentially 

 stay-at-home larvae. Let us leave it at 

 that: it is the simplest and most lucid ex- 

 planation.
