  from 
  quite 
  a 
  distance 
  beyond 
  the 
  boundary 
  of 
  the 
  garden. 
  

   Farther 
  experience 
  has 
  shown 
  that 
  a 
  larger 
  quantity 
  of 
  the 
  

   bait 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  advantageously 
  used 
  in 
  extending 
  it 
  to 
  

   the 
  fences 
  inclosing 
  the 
  garden, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  results 
  to 
  be 
  ob- 
  

   tained 
  by 
  this 
  method 
  of 
  collecting, 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  measured 
  by 
  the 
  

   extent 
  of 
  the 
  locality, 
  the 
  area 
  sugared, 
  and 
  the 
  frequency 
  

   of 
  its 
  repetition, 
  provided 
  the 
  region 
  be 
  one 
  where 
  the 
  Xoctuidse 
  

   occur 
  in 
  reasonable 
  abundance. 
  

  

  As 
  directions 
  for 
  sugaring 
  have 
  already 
  been 
  published,* 
  

   they 
  will 
  not 
  be 
  repeated 
  here, 
  but 
  will 
  be 
  given 
  in 
  a 
  paper 
  

   in 
  preparation, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  various 
  methods 
  employed 
  in 
  

   the 
  attraction 
  of 
  Lepidoptera 
  will 
  be 
  detailed. 
  

  

  A 
  brief 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  collections 
  herein 
  noticed 
  was 
  pre- 
  

   sented 
  at 
  the 
  meeting 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Association 
  for 
  the 
  

   Advancement 
  of 
  Science, 
  held 
  at 
  Detroit 
  in 
  1875. 
  Several 
  of 
  

   the 
  members 
  present 
  were 
  stimulated 
  to 
  test 
  for 
  themselves 
  

   the 
  recommendation 
  made 
  of 
  this 
  simple 
  and 
  most 
  valuable 
  

   means 
  of 
  enlarging 
  their 
  cabinets 
  and 
  extending 
  oar 
  knowl- 
  

   edge 
  of 
  an 
  interesting 
  and 
  important 
  class 
  of 
  insects. 
  In 
  

   every 
  instance, 
  it 
  is 
  believed, 
  the 
  results 
  were 
  highly
