Hah. Jebba; November. 



" The cocoons of this species were frequently seen on some of 

 the largest trees growing near the river bank at Jebba, not far 

 from the Juju-rock. They were usually placed in a cluster on the 

 under surface of a large bough. The caterpillar, an enormous 

 'woolly bear,' which I always associated with these cocoons, was 

 on several occasions brought to me in camp. Its colour was 

 dark reddish brown, much darker than the colour of the dead 

 hair woven into the cocoons." — C. C.
