128 First Report on Economic Zoology. 



OTHER SHORT REPORTS SENT ON THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS. 



Group F. 



The Death Watch (Anobium domesticum), which were reported as appearing in 

 large numbers on the walls of a room that had been shut up for a year full 

 of boxes, at Eastbourne. (Miss E. Branscombe.) 



The Clothes Moth (Tineola bisellieUu), also reported by the same observer, with a 

 note that " They do not fly about as ordinary moths, but sit on the walls and 

 ceilings with folded wings, waiting for me to kill them. Sometimes I kill 

 ten in a room, then find none, for a day or two ; then eight or ten make their 

 appearance in a room which is shut up and no window opened. I am 

 thinking of shutting up the house, so it is important for me to know 

 what to do." (Vide Report, p. 43.) 



Method of destroying insects (sp. (?) ) in Acacia wood. (T. Christy & Co., 

 London.) Letter containing a note that " they always submit drugs with 

 weevils and insects in them to a process of baking." We have therefore 

 made arrangements for them to receive the whole of our parcel (of acacia 

 wood) to treat it in the ordinary way.
