LIVING COCOONS FOR SALE 



Last winter the Society gathered and sold for the benefit of 

 the Bulletin Publication fund many thousand cocoons, mostly of 

 our fairly common species, for breeding and experimental work. 

 We put the price much lower than any quotations have ever been 

 and thus many biology classes were enabled to study in large series. 



This year has been a poor one for all the Saturniidae and co- 

 coons are scarce. The demand which we created last year has 

 grown. We shall nevertheless be prepared to ship in any quan- 

 tity desired, 



Cecropias at i cent each. Our largest moth, has been suc- 

 cessfully hybridized. 



Cynthias i cent each. Most successfully hybridized of all. 



Prometheas 2 cents each. They are very scarce this year. 

 Verj^ successfully hybridized with Cynthia. 



Advance orders have taken our rarer species too completely to 

 guarantee a further supply. We fear we can get no more regalis 

 or imperialis. We cannot guarantee delivery but will try to fur- 

 nish in small numbers luna at 25 cents, io at 10 cents, polyphemus 

 at 4 cents (easiest to secure through the winter) and a variety of 

 Papil io and miscellaneous chrysalids at much less than prices 

 usually quoted. 



All properly packed. Postage must be added to small orders.
