Mr. Fletcher. 



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

 from the Kolar mines. 



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 in our experiments and found that there 

 was no loss of weight. 



The subject seems to require further investigation.
