coaxed her round the tapes. She went into the nest, 
deposited her larva, and immediately came out again. 
I put her back on the larve at 7.15; she took one, and 
again tried hard, but ineffectually, to reach down. I 
therefore again coaxed her round. She went into the 
nest, deposited her larva, and came out again directly 
as before. J put her back on the larve at 7.35, when 
the same thing happened again. She got back to the 
nest at 7.40, and immediately came out again. This 
time she found her way round the string, with some 
help from me, and reached the larve at 7.50. I helped 
her home for the last time. The next journey she 
found her way without assistance, and reached the 
larve at 8.26. After this she returned as follows, 
viz. :— 
At 8.50

9.10 
9.17 
9.28
