234 JOURNAL OF SCIENCE. 
Professor Hutton moved acordial vote of thanks to Mr. Federli 
for his paper, remarking that no doubt his eftorts would be crowned 
with success. After hearing his paper he was clearly convinced 
that sericiculture was eminently suited tor New Zealand, and as 
soon as the prejudice of people was removed, and plenty of mul- 
berry trees planted, numbers would embark in the industry, with 
great advantage to themselves. 
Mr. H. R. Webb seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried 
unanimously.
