I'ROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 



Mr. Kunhi 

 Kannan. 



It sounds rather unlikely to find free mercury. Possibly it comea 

 from tlie Kolar niiaes. 



I also tried the efiect of mercury on silkworm eggs and found that 

 it prevented their hatching. The method of action seems obscure. 

 We weighed the mercury used hi our experiments and found that there 

 was no loss of weight. 



The subject 



to require further investigation.
