suited for this purpose, or any space in the garden well 
sheltered by a thick shrub, such as the sheep laurel. 
The larvee of the various beetles are called by anglers, 
the white worm grub, the cow-dung grud, the cabbage 
grub, and the meal worm. The first is the larva of the 
cockchafer, and is found in loose loamy soils, especially 
near the horse-chestnut. It may be easily found by fol- 
lowing the plough. The second, as its name implies, is 
found in cow-dung, and is the larva of several of the 
beetle tribe. The third is found in the stalks of old cab- 
bages, and often about their roots, and is the larva of 
two or three varieties of the beetle. The last is found in 
the meal-tub, is much smaller than the three first-men- 
tioned varieties of grubs, and is not so good for angling 
purposes as the gentle. 
These grubs may all be preserved by simply placing 
them with some of the earth in which they are found, in 
any receptacle, keeping them afterwards in a cool situa- 
tion. 
Caddies are the larvae of the ephemera, or May-fly, 
as well as the stone-fly and the caddis-fly. They are easi- 
ly found beneath the stones, weeds, &c., of shallow brooks, 
and may be stored by putting them in water, with some 
sand, in a cool place. By placing them in a perforated 
box, they may be suffered to remain in a running stream, 
where they continue to grow and thrive as well as in their 
native haunts. They are not, however, much prized as 
angling baits. 
Caterpillars, or the larvee of the butterfly, are either 
smooth or rough. The former are not much used, and the
