 bromeliadicolous dragon-fly larvae in this number of the News, the 

 following item from a letter from Mr. K. J. Morton, of Edinburgh, 

 Scotland, is of interest : "Longer ago than I care to think, Fritz 

 Miiller, amongst other curious habitations of Trichopterous larvae, 

 sent me some caddis cases taken from the water present between 

 the sheaths of Bromeliads found on trees in the primeval forest 

 growth of Southern Brazil."
