MOTHS OF THE LIMBERLOST 



Professor Rowley may have settled the "ear" question. 

 I am going to keep sharp watch for these organs, here- 

 after. I am led to wonder if one could close them in 

 some way and detect any difference in the moth's sense 

 of hearing after having done so. 



All of us are enthusiasts about these moths with their 

 modest fore-wings and the gaudy brilliance of the wonder- 

 ful "after-wings," that are so bright as to give common 

 name to the species. We are studying them constantly 

 and hope soon to learn all we care to know of any moths, 

 for our experience with them is quite limited when com- 

 pared with other visitors from the swamp. But think of 

 the poetry of adding to the long list of birds, animals 

 and insects that temporarily reside with us, a Sweetheart 

 and a Bride !
